Minoan Prince of the Lilies 1550 BCE

"From Hyria they (Cretans/Minoans) made settlements in those other towns which a very long time afterwards the Tarentines attempted to destroy, thereby suffering great disaster. The result was that no one has ever heard of so great a slaughter of Greeks as that of the Tarentines and Rhegians; three thousand townsmen of the latter, men who had been coerced by Micythus son of Choerus to come and help the Tarentines, were killed, and no count was kept of the Tarentine slain."

-Herodotus, The Histories: Book 7, Chapter 170.3
