The first Greek colonists arrived, to this Thracian corner, during the middle of the 7th century BC. Their origin was from Klazomenes, a city which existed on the coast of the land of Minor Asia and located opposite of the island of Chios. This colonization attempt failed and after a 70 year period of time, new colonists arrived in the same area. This time these people were coming from Teo, a city located near the ancient Klazomenes and a little further south. This effort was successful and so there is the begging of a brilliant historical period for the Thracian region. They founded the city, in order to honour Hercules’ friend Avdiros who was eaten alive by the wild horses of the Thracian king Diomedes.
