Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: According to Greek mythology, after the Trojan War, Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, went to the region of Epirus, and imposed himself as ruler, with the help of members of the Trojan court. The Chaonians are said to derive from Chaon, brother or friend of Helenus, son of Priam, king of Troy. When Helenus became the ruler of the country, he gave Chaon a part of it to rule, which was called Chaonia. The Chaonians, according to the geographer Strabo, were the most famous of the Epirotic tribes. They had their capital in the city of Fenice, but their country was a collection of villages and formed more of a tribal state than a hierarchical society in the style of classical Greece, which, according to Aristophanes, the Caonian system of government was chaotic. Their rulers were elected annually and in the 4th century BC their leaders used the title of Prostates (‘protector’ in Greek). They lived in constant combat with the Illyrian tribes to the north.
