The Pelasgians were the indigenous inhabitants of the Aegean region before the emergence of the Ancient Greeks. The Pelasgians originated in Arcadia (with King Pelasgus coming to rule over Arcadia in 1517 BC, according to Greek mythology), and their name is said to mean "storks", referring to their migratory habits, which led them to relocate elsewhere and conduct warfare. In 1488 BC, Danaus invaded Greece from Rhodes and conquered Argos, and his descendants became known as the "Danaans", later known as "Greeks". By the 12th century BC, at the time of the Trojan War, the "Pelasgiotes" inhabited Larisa in northern Greece, while the "Aegaan Pelasgians" inhabited Pedasos and Porosilene; the Pelasgians sided with Troy against the Achaeans. In 1175 BC, the Peleset were among the Sea Peoples who invaded Egypt immediately after the fall of Troy, and, in 1153 BC, the Pelasgians and Thracians captured Thebes. In 1130 BC, the Thebans returned and expelled the Pelasgians to Athens. During the Dark Ages, the Pelasgians were Hellenized, with every Aegean island eventually assimilating to Greek culture.
