After thoroughly investigating that, it remains to tell how Corinth and Sicyon were settled by the Dorians.
Almost all the nations in the Peloponnese, except the Arcadians, were uprooted by the return of the Heracleidae.
In their division of the land, the Heracleidae picked out Corinth and the surrounding area; they sent for Aletes, and awarded the territory to him.
Aletes became a distinguished king and increased the power of Corinth; he reigned for 38 years.
