Athenocles of Athens
Athenocles (Ancient Greek: Ἀθηνοκλῆς) was a man of ancient Greece who was said to have led a colony of Athenians who settled at Amisus in Pontus, and called the place "Peiraeus". The date of this event is uncertain.[1][2]
This comes to us from the historian Strabo, who himself claims to be quoting a tradition from the historian Theopompus.
