According to another version of the euhemeristic plan, Scamander is a Cretan (Dravkian) who arrived with the settlers and his son Tevkrom in Troas [5] . With the help of Samon, he subjugated the inhabitants and became the first king of the Trojans [6] .
Scamander is also an ancient designation of the hill on which Ilion stood [7] .
