		One of the HELIADES 2 was Triopas 2, who, because of the murder of his brother Tenages, sailed first from Rhodes to the Chersonesus, which lies on the mainland opposite the island, and later emigrated to Thessaly where he assisted the sons of Deucalion 1 to expel the Pelasgians.
		His son Phorbas 2 returned to Rhodes at the time when the island was called Ophiussa because there were a great number of snakes, among which one of immense size.
		It is told that Phorbas 2 was carried to Rhodes by a storm, killing all the beasts on his arrival.
