[428] This is a tolerably complete list of the races which, in the tradition known to us from post-Homeric times, formed the primitive population of the mainland of Greece and the coasts of Asia Minor. The Leleges and Kaukones do not occur in the Catalogue, but are named elsewhere in H., e.g. 20.96, 329, as inhabitants of the countries bordering on the Other Kaukones Troad.are found in Elis, Od. 3.366, as Pelasgi and Leleges are stated to have lived in Greece proper as well as in Asia Minor. Thymbra, a well-known town on the Skamander, is not mentioned again in H.
