Doliones
In Greek mythology, the Doliones or Dolionians were the people living on the coast of the Propontis, visited by the Argonauts. They were ruled by Cyzicus, son of Aeneus and Aenete.
Mythology
After the departure of the Argonauts in Lemnos, they came to the land of the Doliones of whom Cyzicus was the king. Cyzicus welcomed the Argonauts on their journey to Colchis and received them with generous hospitality. But after their departure, a storm drove them back to the Cyzicene coast at night.With neither the Argonauts nor King Cyzicus and the Doliones recognizing one another, each mistook the other as an enemy and battle ensued. A fragment attributed to 4th century BCE historian Ephorus in the Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodes’ Argonautica, however, named the Doliones a Pelasgian people. The Argonauts slew many natives, including King Cyzicus who was killed either by Jason or Heracles.
