Pylos the son of Cleson, bringing from the Megarid the Leleges who then occupied the country.
After the return of the Heracleidae (Dorians) ,when they assigned Argos to Temenus, Cresphontes asked them for the land of Messenia Aristodemus was now dead, but Cresphontes was vigorously opposed by Theras the son of Autesion... who was at that time guardian of the sons of Aristodemus, being their uncle Cresphontes, wishing to obtain Messenia as his portion at all costs, approached Temenus, and having suborned him pretended to leave the decision to the lot. Temenus put the lots of the children of Aristodemus and of Cresphontes into a jar containing water, the terms being that the party whose lot came up first should be the first to choose a portion of the country. Temenus had caused both lots to be made of clay, but for the sons of Aristodemus sun-dried, for Cresphontes baked with fire. So the lot of the sons of Aristodemus was dissolved, and Cresphontes, winning in this way, chose Messenia.
