This article appears in Volume V07, Page 829 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DARDANUS , in Greek legend, son of Zeus and
Electra
 , the mythical founder of Dardanus on the
Hellespont
  and ancestor of the Dardans of the Troad and, through Aeneas, of the Romans. His
original
 
home
  was supposed to have been
Arcadia
 , where he married Chryse, who brought him as dowry the
Palladium
  or image of Pallas, presented to her by the goddess herself Having slain his brother Iasius or Iasion (according to others, Iasius was struck by lightning), Dardanus fled across the sea. He first stopped at Samothrace, and when the
island
  was visited by a flood, crossed over to the Troad. Being hospitably received by Teucer, he married his daughter Batea and became the founder of the royal
house
  of Troy.
See Apollodorus iii. 12; Diod. Sic. v. 48-75; Virgil, Aeneid, iii. 163 ff. ; articles in Pauly-Wissowa's Realencyclopadie and Roscher's Lexikon der Mythologie.
