Stromata
Dardania, the region founded by Dardanus near Troy.
Under Sthenelus were both the kingdom of Amphictyon and the coming of Danaus to the Peloponnese, and the founding of Dardania by Dardanus, whom "first," says Homer, "the cloud-gatherer Zeus begot," and the carrying back of Europa from Phoenicia to Crete.
Iliad
The city founded by Dardanos, predecessor to Ilion/Troy in the genealogical account.
"In the beginning Dardanos was the son of Zeus, and founded Dardania, for Ilion was not yet established on the plain for men to dwell in, and her people still abode on the spurs of many-fountained Ida.
