Dolonki

A tribe of Greeks who ruled the Khersonese (Chersonese) circa 500 BCE.

The Dolonki were under constant attack by the Apsinthians and sent an envoy to the oracle at Delphi for advice; the pythia told the Dolonki envoy to ask the first person they met who offered them hospitality to become the “founder” of their nation; the Dolonki were ignored by everyone they encountered until they came to Athens where a man named Miltiades greeted them and offered them shelter and food; they told him of the oracle’s command and Miltiades gathered some followers and became the tyrant of the Khersonese (circa 540 BCE).
