Troya, también llamada Ilio, es la ciudad
frigia en el noroeste de Asia Menor, en la
región llamada Tróade. En la
época de la Guerra de Troya, estaba la
ciudad provista de sólidas murallas, anchas
avenidas y espléndidos palacios. Durante la
guerra, acudieron en ayuda de la asediada ciudad
muchos aliados, entre los cuales se cuentan los
ascanios, las AMAZONAS, los licios, y los
etíopes orientales.
Emigración de Dárdano 1
Dárdano 1, hijo de Zeus y de la pléyade Electra 3, vivía en la isla de Samotracia. Pero cuando su hermano, Yasión—un joven muy apuesto—, fue fulminado por el rayo de Zeus a causa de su aventura amorosa con Deméter, Dárdano 1 emigró, afincándose en el territorio continental frente a Samotracia, que entonces gobernaba Teucro 2. Según algunos, Dárdano 1 y su gente emigraron por lo difícil que era la vida en Samotracia —isla de suelo pobre y turbulento mar. Habiendo zarpado, llegaron al Helesponto, y se establecieron en la región que posteriormente se llamó Frigia.
Los teucros
Teucro 2, hijo del dios-río Escamandro 1 y de la ninfa Idea 1, reinaba entonces en esa región, cuyos habitantes, tomando su nombre, llamábanse teucros. Teucro 2 acogió a los extranjeros, y le concedió a Dárdano 1 la mano de su hija Batía 1, y junto con ella, parte del territorio. Los que están interesados en demostrar que los troyanos eran griegos afirman que Teucro 2 provenía de Ática, razón que explicaría la generosa hospitalidad con la que recibió a Dárdano 1. Pues le alegraba a Teucro 2 ver que llegaba una nueva camada de colonos griegos a una región que albergaba una pequeña población nativa, colonos que lo ayudarían en sus guerras contra los bárbaros.
Dardania
Dárdano 1 fundó una ciudad en la región que más tarde se llamó Tróade, y ahí vivió con su familia. Al morir su suegro, heredó la totalidad del reino, al que llamó Dardania.
Familia de Dárdano 1 Según algunos, era Batía 1 la segunda esposa de Dárdano 1. La habría desposado él al morir su primera mujer, Crise 3, con la que tuvo dos hijos: Ideo 4 y Dimante. Este último se quedó en Arcadia, de donde provenían (ya que dicen que Atlas fue rey de Arcadia), pero Ideo 4 emigró con Dárdano 1, primero a Samotracia, y después a Frigia, dándole su nombre al Monte Ida.
Erictonio 1 y Tros 1
Al morir Dárdano 1, su hijo Erictonio 1 se convirtió en rey de Dardania y en el más rico de los hombres, por haber heredado al mismo tiempo el reino de su padre y el de su abuelo materno. Erictonio 1 se casó con Astioque 1 (hija del dios-río Símois), o acaso con Calírroe 3, una hermana de Teucro 2. Con una de las dos, tuvo un hijo, Tros 1, que al llegar al trono llamó a su pueblo troyanos, y a la región Tróade, inspirándose en su propio nombre. Según algunos, fue Tros 1 el que se habría casado con Calírroe 3, pero otros afirman que se casó con Acalaris, hija de Eumedes 6.

El fundador de Troya
Ilo 2, hijo de Tros 2, fundó la ciudad de Ilio (Troya), a la que llamó siguiendo el sonido de su nombre. Ilo 2 fue a cierta parte de Frigia para participar en un certamen organizado por el rey, y en él obtuvo una victoria en lucha libre. Como premio recibió cincuenta jóvenes y otras tantas doncellas. Y el rey, obedeciendo a un oráculo, le dio también una vaca, pidiéndole que fundara una ciudad, ahí donde a la vaca se le antojara echarse. El animal se echó a descansar en la colina de Ate, y en ese lugar fundó Ilo 2 la ciudad que llamó Ilio. Elevó entonces su plegaria a Zeus para que le mostrara alguna señal, y fue así que vio que el Paladio había caído del cielo y yacía frente a su tienda de campaña. Ilo 2 se quedó ciego, porque al Paladio no se le puede mirar. Pero después de haber realizado ofrendas a la diosa, recuperó la vista. De este modo, se produjo la partición del reino de Dárdano 1 y Erictonio 1, pues mientras Ilo se convertía en rey de Ilio (Troya), seguía reinando en Dardania su hermano Asáraco.
El taimado Laomedonte 1
Según algunos, la esposa de Ilo 2 era Eurídice 6; según otros Leucipe 5. Con una de las dos tuvo Ilo 2 un hijo, Laomedonte 1, que sucedió a su padre en el trono de Troya. Cuando Laomedonte 1 era rey, Apolo y Poseidón resolvieron ponerlo a prueba. Apareciéndose como si fueran simples mortales, los dos dioses propusieron fortificar a Troya a cambio de un salario. Laomedonte 1 aceptó, pero cuando terminaron la obra, se negó a pagarles. Como castigo, propagó Apolo una plaga, y Poseidón envió un monstruo marino que atacaba a los habitantes de la llanura. Los oráculos predijeron que esas calamidades desaparecerían si el rey Laomedonte 1 exponía a su hija, Hesíone 2, para que la devorara el monstruo marino. Más obediente del oráculo que de sus obligaciones como empleador, expuso Laomedonte 1 a Hesíone 2, encadenándola a unas rocas cerca del mar. Al verla así, Heracles 1 prometió que la rescataría si Laomedonte 1 le daba a cambio las yeguas que había recibido de Zeus como compensación, cuando el dios se llevó a Ganimedes. Una vez más prometió Laomedonte 1 pagar por el servicio que recibía, y Heracles 1 mató al monstruo y salvó a Hesíone 2. Pero otra vez más se negó Laomedonte 1 a pagar la recompensa prometida.

Por esa razón, Heracles 1 entabló una guerra contra Troya, una generación antes de la famosa Guerra de Troya. En dicho ataque, lo ayudó a Heracles 1, entre otros, Telamón, hijo de Áyax 1. Desplegó Heracles 1 dieciocho naves de cincuenta remos cada una, o sea, una flota insignificante, comparada con la que zarpó contra la misma ciudad una generación después [véase JEFES AQUEOS por más detalles sobre esta flota]. Luego de algunos encuentros, la ciudad fue sitiada, y poco después Telamón entró en ella por una brecha en sus murallas. Atrás de él, venía Heracles 1, que dio muerte a Laomedonte 1 y a sus hijos, con la excepción de Príamo 1, que fue proclamado rey de Troya. La hija del rey, Hesíone 2, fue dada a Telamón como botín de guerra. Hesíone 2 dio luego a luz a Teucro 1, Jefe de Salamina en la segunda Guerra de Troya.
Segunda Guerra de Troya [véase Guerra de
Troya]
Supervivencia de la Casa de Dárdano 1 En Dardania, Capis 1 sucedió a Asáraco en el trono, y se cuenta que, hacia el final de la Guerra de Troya, habría recomendado que se arrojara al mar el CABALLO DE MADERA. Capis 1 es padre de Anquises 1, padre de Eneas, que comandó a las fuerzas de Dardania durante la Guerra de Troya. A Eneas se le recuerda por su coraje y piedad, y por ser el que el hado destinó a sobrevivir y salvar de la extinción a la Casa de Dárdano 1. Pues luego de escapar de la ciudad en llamas, emigró a Italia, donde fundó el reino que más tarde sería Roma. |

Dardanus 1, grieved at his brother Iasion's death, left Samothrace and came to the country where the Teucrians dwelt, and called it Dardania. His descendants founded Troy. Dardanus 1 is son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES. By Chryse 3, daughter of Pallas 8, he became father of Idaeus 4 and Deimas. By Batia 1 (daughter of Teucer 1, son of Scamander 1, one of the RIVER GODS) he became father of Ilus 1, Erichthonius 1, and Zacynthus. Others have said that his wife was Olizone, daughter of Phineus 2, and that by her he had Erichthonius 1 (Apd.3.12.1-2; Col.286; DH.1.50.3, 1.61.2; Dictys 4.22; Dio.4.75.1, 5.48.2; Hyg.Ast.2.21; Hyg.Fab.155; Nonn.3.195; Ov.Fast.4.31, 4.33; QS.2.141, 13.558; Vir.Aen.8.134).
Erichthonius 1. King of the Dardanians, who became, as they say, the richest of men, since he inherited both the kingdom of his father and that of his maternal grandfather. He was son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3 (one of the PLEIADES); his mother was Batia 1, daughter of Teucer 2, son of Scamander 1 (one of the RIVER GODS). Others have said that his mother was Olizone, daughter of Phineus 2. Erichthonius 1 is father of Tros 1, after whom the Trojans were called. Tros 1's mother was either Astyoche 3, daughter of Simois (one of the RIVER GODS), or Callirrhoe 3, daughter of Scamander 1 (Apd.3.12.2; DH.1.62.1-2; Dictys 4.22; Hom.Il.20.219; Ov.Fast.4.33).
Tros 1 called the people of the land Trojans, after his own name. He was son of Erichthonius 1 (son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES); his mother was either Astyoche 3 (daughter of Simois, one of the RIVER GODS) or Callirrhoe 3, otherwise called his wife. By Callirrhoe 3, daughter of the river god Scamander 1, he had children: Cleopatra 3, Ilus 2 (the founder of Troy), Assaracus, and Ganymedes; but some say that he had Assaracus by Acallaris, daughter of Eumedes 6. Tros 1 is also said to be the father of Cleomestra (Apd.3.12.2; DH.1.62.2; Dictys 4.22; Dio.4.75.3).
Ilus 2 founded the city of Ilium (Troy) that he called after himself. Ilus 2 went to Phrygia, and taking part in games that at the time were held by the king, he won victory in wrestling. As a prize he received fifty youths and as many maidens; and the king, obeying an oracle, gave him also a cow and asked him to found a city wherever the cow should lie down. This took place when the cow came to the hill of Ate, and in that spot Ilus 2 built the city which he called Ilium. Then he prayed to Zeus that a sign might be shown to him and he saw the Palladium, fallen from heaven and lying before his tent. Ilus 2 was blinded, since the Palladium was not to be looked upon by any man. But later, when he had made offerings to the goddess, he recovered his sight. Ilus 2 was son of Tros 1 (eponym of the Trojans), son of Erichthonius 1, son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES. His mother was Callirrhoe 3, daughter of Scamander 1, one of the RIVER GODS. He had children by Eurydice 6 (daughter of Adrastus 2): Themiste and Laomedon 1, but the latter is also called son of Ilus 2 and Leucippe 5. Also Tithonus 1 has been called son of Ilus 2 (Apd.3.12.2-3; Dictys 4.22; Hyg.Fab.250; Plu.PS.17).
Assaracus. King of the Dardanians, who lived in the region about Troy. He was son of Tros 1, after whom the Trojans were called, in turn son of Erichthonius 1, son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES. His mother was Callirrhoe 3, daughter of the river god Scamander 1, or perhaps Acallaris, daughter of Eumedes 6, otherwise unknown. He has also been called son of Aesyetes and Cleomestra. Assaracus married either Hieromneme, daughter of the river god Simois, or Clytodora, daughter of King Laomedon 1 of Troy, and he fathered, by one of them, Ganymedes and Capys 1. The latter, who recommended throwing the WOODEN HORSE into the sea, was father of Anchises 1 (Apd.3.12.2; DH.1.62.2; Dictys 4.22; Dio.4.75.5; Hyg.Fab.224; Ov.Fast.4.34).
Faunus 1 (Phaunus 1). A half-goat god. Faunus 1 is sometimes identified with Pan, or else regarded as one of the SATYRS. Otherwise Faunus 1 is called king of Latium (Italy). He is counted among those who joined Dionysus 2 in his Indian campaign. Faunus 1 is son of Picus & Canens, or of someone unknown and Circe. Faunus is father of Acis by a nymph (Nymph 2 Symaethian) (see also NYMPHS and Polyphemus 2). By Marica he fathered Latinus 1 (see also NYMPHS. Latinus 1 is the king of Latium who was succeeded by Aeneas, who also married his daughter Lavinia 2). By Dryope 2 he became father of Tarquitus (see also NYMPHS. Tarquitus was an ally of Turnus, the man who opposed Aeneas in Italy). By Ismenis he had a son Crenaeus 4 who was a defender of Thebes against the SEVEN (see also NYMPHS). By someone unknown he fathered Eurymedon 6, defender of the Hypsistan gate at Thebes during the war of the SEVEN. Faunus 1 also consorted with a Hyperborean Girl (DH.1.43.1; Nonn.13.328, 37.11, 37.56; Ov.Fast.2.268ff., 5.99; Ov.Met.14.450ff., 13.750; Plu.Num.15.3; Stat.Theb.7.262, 9.319; Vir.Aen.7.48, 10.550ff.).
Laomedon 1. When Laomedon 1 was king of Troy, Apollo and Poseidon decided to put him to the test and, assuming the likeness of mortal men, fortified the city for wages. But when the work was done, King Laomedon 1 would not pay their wages; so Apollo sent a pestilence, and Poseidon sent a sea-monster, which snatched away the people of the plain. The oracles foretold deliverance from these calamities if King Laomedon 1 would expose his daughter Hesione 2 to be devoured by the sea-monster. So he, more obedient of this oracle than of his agreement with the gods, exposed Hesione 2 to the monster by fastening her to the rocks near the sea. When Heracles 1 saw her exposed, he promised to save her on condition of receiving from Laomedon 1 the mares which Zeus had given in compensation for the rape of Ganymedes. Once again Laomedon 1 promised to pay for the service and Heracles 1 killed the monster and saved Hesione 2. But when this was done Laomedon 1 would not give the agreed reward. For this reason Heracles 1 made war on Troy one generation before the well known Trojan War. Heracles 1 performed his attack in conjunction with Telamon, father of Ajax 1, deploying for this purpose eighteen ships with fifty oars each, which is an insignificant fleet compared to the one which sailed against Troy one generation after. After some fight the town was besieged and shortly after Telamon, who was the first to breach in the wall, entered the city and after him came Heracles 1. Heracles 1 or Telamon killed King Laomedon 1 and his sons except for young Priam 1, who became then king of Troy. Laomedon 1 was son of Ilus 2, the founder of Ilium (Troy) and the son of Tros 1 (after whom the Trojans are called), son of Erichthonius 1, son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES. Laomedon 1's mother was either Eurydice 6, daughter of Adrastus 2, or Leucippe 5. His wife was either Strymo (daughter of Scamander 1, one of the RIVER GODS), or Placia (daughter of Otreus 1), or Leucippe 2; by one of these three Laomedon 1 begot children: Tithonus 1, Lampus 2, Clytius 5, Hicetaon 1, Priam 1, Hesione 2, Cilla, Astyoche 4, and also Thymoetes 1. Laomedon 1 also had a son Bucolion 2 by Calybe 1 (one of the NYMPHS). And by unknown wives he fathered Proclia, Clytodora, and Antigone 3 (Apd.2.5.9, 2.6.4, 3.12.3; Apd.Ep.3.24; DH.1.62.2; Dictys 4.22; Hom.Il.7.452; Hyg.Fab.31, 250; Ov.Met.6.93; Pin.Nem.3.36).
Capys 1. Father of Anchises 1, either by Themiste, or by Hieromneme. The latter is sometimes said to be his mother, who otherwise is called Clytodora. His father was King Assaracus of Dardania, son of Tros 1, son of Erichthonius 1, son of Dardanus 1, son of Zeus and Electra 3, one of the PLEIADES. Capys 1, who was still alive at the time of the Trojan War, is remembered for having recommended to throw the WOODEN HORSE into the sea (Apd.3.12.2; DH.1.62.2; Dio.4.75.5; Vir.Aen.2.35).
Priam 1 was king of Troy when the Trojan War took place, and his fate was that of utter ruin for his country, his family, and himself. Hi was son of Laomedon 1 (Apd.3.12.3-5; Apd.Ep.5.21; Hom.Il. passim; QS.13.238; SI.1; Try.634; Vir.Aen.2.550ff., 8.157).
Anchises 1, who was comely as the gods, was loved by Aphrodite. His son Aeneas saved him from the fire of Troy, and he went into exile. Years later he died in Sicily, but Aeneas, who met him in the Elysian Fields, learned from him some mysteries of life, including his own destiny. He was son of Capys 1 (Apd.3.12.2; Apd.Ep.5.21; DH.1.62.2; Dio.4.75.5, 7.4.1; Hes.The.1008; Hom.Aph.5.70; Hom.Il.5.265, 5.313, 13.429, 23.290; Hyg.Fab.94; Ov.Met.13.680; Pau.8.12.8; QS.13.317ff.; Vir.Aen.3.709, 6.679, 6.711ff.).
Latinus 1. King of Latium (the country in central Italy where Rome is situated). Latinus 1 was succeeded by Aeneas, who married his daughter Lavinia 2. Latinus 1's wife Amata wished to marry her daughter to Turnus, the man who opposed Aeneas in Italy, and there was war to decide which of them should marry Lavinia 2. Latinus 1 perished in this war, killed by the Rutulians, the people of Latium that were ruled by Turnus; but Turnus was defeated by Aeneas and Amata hanged herself. In disagreement with some chronologies Latinus 1 is sometimes called father of Romulus, whom he should have begotten by Roma 3, daughter of Roma 1; by the same woman he had two other sons, Romus and Telegonus 4. By an unknown woman he fathered Leucaria, wife of Italus, son of Telegonus 3 and Penelope. He was also father of Laurine, whom she married to Locrus. The parentage of Latinus 1 is disputed as well; for some say that he was the son of Faunus 1 and Marica, others say that he was son of Odysseus (either by Calypso 3 or by Circe), and still others say that he was the son of Telemachus and Circe (Apd.Ep.7.24; Con.3; DH.1.43.1, 1.64.2, 1.72.5-6; Hes.The.1011; Hyg.Fab.127; Plu.Rom.2.3; Strab.5.3.2; Vir.Aen.7.46-48, 7.52, 7.343ff.).
Hector 1, of the flashing helm, was the eldest among the children of King Priam 1 of Troy and Hecabe 1. He was expected to become king of Troy after his father. But as the city was attacked by the Achaean invaders, he became the leader of the alliance defending Troy. In the tenth year of the war Hector 1 was killed, and the kingdom that was his inheritance was destroyed (Apd.3.12.5-6; Apd.Ep.4.7; Dio.4.75.4; Eur.And.8; Eur.Rhe. passim; Hom.Il.2.816, 5.704, 6.395, 6.402, 22.355, 22.430 and passim; Pin.Isth.8.55, QS.1.1, 4.160).
Aeneas. At the fall of Troy, Aeneas left the city in flames, and after wandering in the Mediterranean sea, came to Italy and founded the state that later became Rome. He was son of Anchises 1 & Aphrodite (Apd.3.12.2; Apd.Ep.3.34ff., 5.21; DH.1.49.1-2, 1.62.2, 1.64.4, 1.72.1; Eur.Rhe. passim; Hes.The.1008; Hom.Aph.5.198; Hom.Il. 20.300ff.; Ov.Her.7; Ov.Fast. 3.629, 4.37; Pau.3.22.10, 10.26.2; Plu.Rom.2.1-3; QS.13.300ff.; Strab.5.3.2; Vir.Aen. passim.).

Agrippa or Acrota. Both called sons of Tiberinus 2. Agrippa (but some say Acrota) became king of Alba after his father (see also Acrota). Some say he was succeeded by Allodius. Agrippa had a son Remulus 1. DH.1.71.2; Dio.7.5.10. Ov.Fast.4.49.
Aventinus 2. Received the throne of Alba and Latium from Acrota. From him the place, and also the hill, took their name. Dio.7.5.12; Ov.Fast.4.51; Ov.Met.14.619.
Proca. Proca Silvius. King of Alba and Latium, over the Palatine race. Succeeded his father Aventinus 2. At his death, his younger son Amulius seized the kingship by violence. His other son was Numitor 2. Dio.7.5.12; Ov.Fast.4.52; Ov.Met.14.622; Vir.Aen.6.767.
Amulius. Governed after Proca by the force of arms. He vanquished his brother Numitor 2, and robbed him of power. He is said to have divided the whole inheritance into two parts, setting the treasures and the gold which had been brought from Troy over against the kingdom, and Numitor 2 chose the kingdom. Amulius, then in possession of the treasure, and made more powerful by it than Numitor 2, easily took the kingdom away from his brother. He ordered the twins, sons of his niece Ilia, to be sunk in the river. He is also said to have deflowered Ilia himself. He was finally killed by Romulus, who restored the kingdom to his grandfather. DH.1.77.1, 1.71.5; Dio.7.5.12; Ov.Fast.3.49, 3.67; Ov.Met.14.772; Plu.Rom.3.2, 3.3, 4.2, 8.6.
Numitor 2. Son of Proca, brother of Amulius and grandfather of Romulus and Remus 1, the founders of Rome. When he died in Alba, the throne devolved upon Romulus. He was father of Ilia, Lausus 2, Aegestus 2, and Aenitus. DH.1.76.2; Dio.7.5.12; Ov.Fast.4.53, 4.55; Ov.Met.14.773; Plu.PS.36; Plu.Rom.27.1; Vir.Aen.6.768.
Romulus. Romulus is of uncertain parentage; he has been called son of Ares, son of Latinus 1, son of a Phantom, son of Amulius and son of Aeneas. He was, along with his twin brother Remus 1, suckled by a she-wolf. Romulus founded Rome, and gave his name to the entire nation. As he saw twelve birds flying in the sky and his brother only six, Romulus was accorded the government of the city.
