[207] According to Acusilaus, the three brothers Ithacus, Neritus and Polyctor were founders, first of Cephallenia, and afterwards of Ithaca. As they are evidently local names, and not connected by tradition with the family of Ulysses, this seems to be one of the instances in which the ruling families of the Trojan War have partially supplanted an earlier group of heroes. See the English Historical Review, vol. I. pp. 43-52.
