Family
Dardanus was the son of Illyrius, who was the son of either Cadmus and Harmonia or Polyphemus and Galatea. He had five brothers: Enchelus, founder of the Enchelei; Autarieus, founder of the Autariatae; Maedus; Taulas, founder of the Taulantii; and Perrhaebus, founder of the Perrhaebi. He also had three sisters: Partho, founder of the Parthini; Daortho, founder of the Daorsi; and Dassaro, founder of the Dassaretii.
According to Appianus of Alexandria, Dardanus was the founder of the Dardani, an ancient Illyrian tribe which inhabited much of modern-day Kosovo, together with land in what is now Serbia, Northern Albania, and North Macedonia.
