they had earlier settled the southern shores of the gulf of Corinth
west of Sicyon, when the
area was conquered by Achaeans who gave it their name. When the Persians of Harpagus,
a general of Cyrus the Great, invaded Ionia
around 545B. C., the citizens of Teos, along with those of Phocaea,
were the only ones not to submit to the Persians. The people of Teos fled north
and founded the city of Abdera
