		Devoting himself to his country, Codrus, in the disguise of a peasant, made his way into the enemy's camp, and provoked a quarrel with some Dorian soldiers.

		No one being thought worthy to succeed Codrus, the title of king was abolished, and that of archon substituted for it.

		Melanthus 1 was in time succeeded in the throne by his son Codrus 1, who died in the battlefield defending Athens against an attempt of the HERACLIDES to take the city.
		After Codrus 1's death, his sons quarrelled for the throne, for Neileus refused to accept his brother Medon 11 as king because he was lame in one foot.
		Androclus, another son of Codrus 1, was, some say, appointed king of the Ionians, and sailed against Ephesus, but others say he was himself the founder of Ephesus as well as the leader of the Ionian colonization.

		He was put to death in the quarrel, and the Dorians, realizing Codrus had been slained, decided to retreat in fear of their prophesied defeat.

		Of the kings of Athens, considered as the capital of Attica, Theseus may be said to have been the first; for to him whether as a real individual or a representative of a certain period, is attributed the union of the different and independent states of Attica under one head.
		It seems, however, equally probable, that it was the nobles who availed themselves of this opportunity to serve their own interests, 'by abolishing the kingly power for another, the possessors of which they called andpxoj/Tes>5 or rulers.
		The next step was to limit the continuance of the office to ten years, still confining it to the Medontidae, or house of Codrus, so as to establish what the Greeks called a dynasty, till the archonship of Eryxias, the last archon of that family elected as such, and the seventh decennial archon.

		The whole family of the Alcmaeonidae was believed to have become tainted by the daring act of sacrilege committed by Megacles; and the friends and partisans of the murdered conspirators were not slow in demanding vengeance upon the accursed race.

		And such was the nobility, gentlemen, of those kings of old that they preferred to die for the safety of their subjects rather than to purchase life by the adoption of another country.
		That at least is true of Codrus, who, they say, told the Athenians to note the time of his death and, taking a beggar's clothes to deceive the enemy, slipped out by the gates and began to collect firewood in front of the town.
		Codrus, therefore, laying aside his kingly robes and donning the garb of a shepherd, made his way into the camp of the enemy, deliberately provoked a quarrel, and was slain without being recognized.

		In the fourth Eclogue, Codrus and Minalcas, treating of “the behavour of riche men agaynst poetes,” the substance is taken from Mantuan’s fifth Eclogue.
		Everybody, retorts Codrus, ought to be content with his lot; for, if one man has the gift of riches, another has that of poetry; but he is by no means disposed to exchange the comforts of wealth for delight in song, and listens impatiently to the poet’s complaints.
		The most interesting feature of the poem is the introduction of the two songs—a trick, however, used already by Mantuan in one of his eclogues.

	The Baldwin Project: The Story of the Greeks by H. A. Guerber
		Codrus, having consulted an oracle, had learned that the victory would be given to the army whose king should be killed, so he nobly made up his mind to die for the good of his people.
		Instead of going into battle in royal dress, with his guards all around him, as was his habit, he dressed himself like an ordinary soldier, and went forward until he stood in the very first rank of the army.
		When Codrus had been buried, therefore, the Athenians gave his son and heir the government of the city, [57] calling him archon, or chief for life,—a title which was borne by many rulers after him.

		Melanthus 1 was succeeded as king of Athens by his son Codrus 1, and while the latter was king, the HERACLIDES did attack Athens as Melanthus 1 had feared, but they accomplished nothing, except that Codrus 1 was killed in battle.
		After the king's death his sons quarrelled for the throne and the dispute had to be settled by the oracle of Delphi, which appointed Medon 11 as king.

		The Athenians were so grateful that they declared their city should never have another king, that the title should always remain sacred to the patriot Codrus.
		There were later kings, nevertheless, but they had to share [55] their authority with eight other men called archons, or rulers, until at last the king-archon did little more than offer up the state sacrifices to the gods.
