Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.61–62) states that Dardanus' original home was in Arcadia where Dardanus and his elder brother Iasus (elsewhere more commonly called Iasion) reigned as kings following Atlas. Dardanus married Chryse daughter of Pallas by whom he fathered two sons: Idaeus and Deimas. When a great flood occurred, the survivors, who were living on mountains that had now become islands, split into two groups: one group remained and took Deimas as king while the other sailed away, eventually settling in the island of Samothrace. There Iasus (Iasion) was slain by Zeus for lying with Demeter. Dardanus and his people found the land poor and so most of them set sail for Asia.
However another account by Virgil in his Aeneid (3.163f), has Aeneas in a dream learn from his ancestral Penates that "Dardanus and Father Iasius" and the Penates themselves originally came from HesperiaHesperia may refer to: One of the Hesperides in Greek mythology Hesperia ("Evening land", or "Western land"), a term sometimes applied to Italy and sometimes to Spain Hesperia also called Asterope, the wife or desired lover of Aesacus and daughter of the which was afterward renamed as ItalyThe Italian Republic or Italy ( Italian: Italia is a country in the south of Europe, consisting mainly of a boot-shaped peninsula together with two large islands in the Mediterranean Sea: Sicily and Sardinia. To the north, where it borders France, Switzer.
Other accounts make no mention of Arcadia or Hesperia, though they sometimes mention a flood and speak of Dardanus sailing on a hide-raft (as part of the flood story?) from Samothrace to the Troad near AbydosAbydos an ancient city of Mysia, in Asia Minor, situated at Nagara Point on the Hellespont, which is here scarcely a mile broad. It probably was originally a Thracian town, but was afterwards colonized by Milesians. Here Xerxes crossed the strait on his b.
All acounts agree that Dardanus came to the Troad from Samothrace and was there welcomed by King TeucerTwo figures in Greek mythology had the name Teucer #The son of Hesione and Telamon, Teucer fought with his half-brother, Ajax the great, in the Trojan War and is the legendary founder of the city Salamis on Cyprus. Son of Scamander and Icaea, Teucer was t and that Dardanus married BateaIn Greek mythology, Batea was a daughter of King Teucer and wife of Dardanus. Alternative: Arisbe, Bateia Batea is also one of the larger municipalities in the rural comarca (county) of Terra Alta, Tarragona province, Catalonia, Spain. BATEA is also an ac the daughter of Teucer. (Dionysius mentions that Dardanus' first wife Chryse had died.) Dardanus received land on Mount Ida from his father-in-law. There Dardanus founded the city of Dardania.
Dardanus' son and heir by Batea was Erichthonius.
According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.50.3), Dardanus also had a son named Zacynthus by Bataea and this Zacynthus was the first settler on the island afterwards called Zacynthus .
Dionysius also says (1.61.4) that Dardanus' son Idaeus gave his name to the Idaean mountains, that is Mount Ida, where Idaeus built a temple to the Mother of the Gods (that is to Cybele) and instituted mysteries and ceremonies still observed in Phrygia in Dionysius' time.
