Cecrops

Cecrops, a Pelasgic hero, the first king of Attica, sometimes represented as half man and half dragon. He divided Attica into twelve communities, founded Athens, the citadel of which, at first called Cecropia, commemorated his name, instituted marriage and the worship of the gods, and introduced agriculture, navigation, and commerce. Late writers explained Cecrops as the leader of a colony from Sais in Egypt.
