King of Athens - Neleides

Neleides

Melanthus having been driven from his kingdom in Pylos came to Athens where Thymoestes resigned the crown to him.

  • Melanthus 1126 - 1089 BC.
  • Codrus 1089 - 1068 BC.

After Codrus's death, his sons Medon and Acastus either reigned as kings, or became hereditary archons. In 753 BC the hereditary archonship was replaced by a non-hereditary system (see Archons of Athens).
