Battos Aristottle

Battos Aristottle (died 600 BCE), also known as Battos I of Cyrene, was the founder of the ancient Greek colony of Cyrenaica and its capital Cyrene.
==Biography==
Around 639 BCE, the Pythia in the Sanctuary of Delphi gave the residents of Thera a prophecy telling them to travel to northwest Africa to set up a new home. However, they did not follow the prophecy, resulting in a period of drought which lasted for seven years. Eventually, Battos visited the Oracle again and heeded her advice, bringing a group of Therans and eventually founded the colony of Cyrenaica and Cyrene.Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt – The Founding of Cyrene: "Cyrene"
