All these nations dwelt inside the river Acheron and the country
inhabited by the Thesprotians; for that people borders on the
Ambraciots and Leucadians, who are the most remote of all those by
whom the fleet was furnished. From the countries beyond, there was
only one people which gave help to the Greeks in their danger. This
was the people of Crotona, who contributed a single ship, under the
command of Phayllus, a man who had thrice carried off the prize at the
Pythian Games. The Crotoniats are, by descent, Achaeans.
