  Clarus
At the site of Clarus the fugitives were seized by the Cretans : the legend was confirmed by the historic Minoan settlement at Miletus that was discovered in 1995/96 by the German school.
In the legend, when Rhacius, the Cretan settler of Caria, learned who they were, he let them settle in the country and married Manto himself.
After the Trojan War, the Trojan seer Calchas was among the refugees at Clarus, where he challenged Mopsus, the charismatic son of Manto and Rhacius, and superseded him as seer of the oracular site, and there he eventually died ('' Argonautica ''1.308; Ovid '' Metamorphoses '' 1.516 and 11.413; Strabo 14.4.3).

 The Sol that Sinneth, it Shall Die
I'm ready to announce that the marriage of Rhacius to Manto was both a Hebrew-Alan and Hebrew-Rus alliance...wherefore we can view the dragon line as both Rus and Alanic on the non-Hebrew side.
Keep in mind that I'm of the opinion that the so-called "rose line" belongs to Rollo's Rus as well as to Merovingian Franks, so that the red and gold colors of both the Sinclair lion and of the Vaux/Baux Septimanian Goths should prove to be a ros(e)-line symbol (gold cup and red blood within?).
In Norway, the Rig peoples were historically the "Arochi," and so I'll mention here Lorri's keen eagle vision in seeing "Araxes" in that term, a point well taken because I had previously published, before I knew that the Rus traced to the Araxes/Aras river, that Rig depicted the historical Roxolani.

Daphne and Manto were both taken captive when Thebes fell in the generation before Troy.
Manto was sent to Ionia where she married Rhacius, King of Caria, by whom she had Mopsus--said to be the son of Apollo.
Daphne remained a virgin and was sent to Delphi; most likely to add the power of Teiresias to the Delphi oracle which had recently (within 100 years) been taken over by the Apollonians.

These writers have taken the story from the Epic Cycle.
The authors of the "Thebais" say that Manto the daughter of Teiresias was sent to Delphi by the Epigoni as a first fruit of their spoil, and that in accordance with an oracle of Apollo she went out and met Rhacius, the son of Lebes, a Mycenaean by race.
This man she married- for the oracle also contained the command that she should marry whomsoever she might meet- and coming to Colophon, was there much cast down and wept over the destruction of her country.
