Rhodes in Lykophron is a puzzle. The poet believes that Rhodians from the east Aegean tried to settle in the Croton region of south Italy after the Trojan war, and implies that they failed. But there is little or no evidence from archaeology, inscriptions or coins for a Rhodian presence in Italy as opposed to Sicily. An explanation is offered for this anomalous tradition. The Romans did successfully colonize Croton in 194 BC, at a time when they were friends of the Rhodians. They were symbolically retrieving a mythical Rhodian failure.
