Aristaeus


























The first inhabitants of Sardenia were the Pelasgians before and after the "Cataclysm" (9600 BC). Later other people arrived there from different parts of Greece (Peloponnesus, Boeotia, Crete) and built new colonies. Aristaeus (ca 6300 BC) and Iolaos with the "sons" of Herakles (ca 3500 BC) were only two of them. The "Phoenicians" came to the island from Carthage in historical times.
Later, the Romans changed most of the old names of the cities.
