Pausanias' Description of Greece

Cocalus

Family: Sicily · Role: king · First appears: Book 1 · Chapter 21

Cocalus received Dædalus in Sicily after he escaped from Crete. By Book 7, Dædalus had escaped imprisonment and fled to Cocalus’s court at Inycus; Cocalus would not hand him over at Minos’s request, and this caused war between the Sicilians and Cretans.
