In relating the matter of the Rhegians and Tarentines, however, I digress from the main thread of my history. The Praesians say that when +Crete [25,35.166] (region), Greece, Europe Crete was left desolate, it was populated especially by Greeks, among other peoples. Then, in the third generation after Minos, the events surrounding the Trojan War, in which the Cretans bore themselves as bravely as any in the cause of Menelaus, took place.
