The Doric settlers, some, of themnatives of Rhodes, introduced the worship of Athene of Lindus and alsothat of Zeus Atabyrius, i.e. the Moloch of Mt. Tabor. After havingerected a temple to Zeus Polieus, the founder of cities, Phalaris usurpedthe supreme power with the assistance of his workmen, and ruled from564 to 549, when he was deposed by the Eumenides Telemachus, and anoligarchy of sixty years now began. The cruelty of Phalaris has becomeproverbial; he is said, for instance, to have sacrificed human victims toZeus Atabyrius in red-hot bulls of metal.

(The W. partof the Acropolis has been sometimes erroneously identified with the Sicaniantown of Camicus.)
