Aeolians

The Aeolians were one of the Hellenic tribes, and they moved their location when the Dorians were attacking the Mycenaeans and then abandoned most of the Mycenaean territories. The Aeolians took over some of the abandoned territory and built the cities of Delphi and a few cities on islands near Turkey as well as helping the Ionians build Athens. They began building these cities well after the Mycenaeans were deafeated.
