LELEGES, The.
"The Greeks beyond the sea [Ionian Greeks of Asia Minor] were
however not merely designated in groups, according to the
countries out of which they came, but certain collective names
existed for them—such as that of Javan in the East. … Among
all these names the most widely spread was that of the
Leleges, which the ancients themselves designated as that of a
mixed people. In Lycia, in Miletus, and in the Troad these
Leleges had their home; in other words, on the whole extent of
coast in which we have recognized the primitive seats of the
people of Ionic Greeks."
