Since Cecrops is mythological how can an exact time be placed on his reign? T@nn 01:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
As stated and referenced in the article on Actaeus, Actaeus was the first king of Athens, and Cecrops I was the second, although he wasn't his son. Hiccup42 ( talk) 17:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Cecrops was not a "mythical king." He as an Egyptain ruler who was sent to civilize the nomadic Dorian Greeks. Athena was a African Lybian Goddess who was the primary goddess of Athens before the Dorain Greek invasions. Just by observing what he taught them, "ceremonial burials" of their ancestors, is an ancient Egyptian (African) custom. Ancestral reverence or burial has no indgienous roots in European culture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.102.208 ( talk) 19:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
