The first King of Attica was named Cecrops.

In return for this good gift Cecrops, who had been made arbiter, decided that Athens was hers.

Most writers say that these events happened before the Deluge, and that the Cecrops who belonged to the famous Athenian family was not the ancient half-dragon, half-human creature but an ordinary man, important only because of his relatives.

Athena gave a chest in which she had put the infant to the three daughters of Cecrops, forbidding them to open it.

His grandson was called by his name, and was the father of the second Cecrops, Procris, Creüsa, and Orithyia.
