1183 BC
[Paus 8.5.2] Agapenor, the son of Ancaeus, the son of Lycurgus, who
was king after Echemus, led the Arcadians to Troy. After the capture of
Troy the storm that overtook the Greeks on their return home carried
Agapenor and the Arcadian fleet to Cyprus, and so Agapenor became the
founder of Paphos, and built the sanctuary of Aphrodite at Palaepaphos (Old
Paphos ). Up to that time the goddess had been worshipped by the Cyprians
in the district called Golgi. [3] Afterwards Laodice, a descendant of
Agapenor, sent to Tegea a robe as a gift for Athena Alea. The inscription
on the offering told as well the race of Laodice :--
This is the robe of Laodice; she offered it to her Athena,
Sending it to her broad fatherland from divine Cyprus.
[Paus. 8.5.4] When Agapenor did not return home from Troy,
the kingdom devolved upon Hippothous, the son of Cercyon, the son of
Agamedes, the son of Stymphalus. No remarkable event is recorded of his
life, except that he established as the capital of his kingdom not Tegea
but Trapezus.
