[[Herodotus]] records an alternative tradition that sometime after the death of King [[Minos]] a large body of [[Cretans]], all except the Polichnites and the Praisians, sailed for [[Sicania]] and besieged Camicus for a space of five years. Failing to take the city, and suffering from hunger, they departed Sicania and began the voyage homewards. A furious storm hit when they were at sea close to the shore of what later became [[Iapygia]]. The storm threw them upon the coast and broke all their vessels to pieces; and so, as they saw no means of returning to [[Crete]], they founded the town of [[Hyria]] and "changed their name from Cretans to "[[Iapyges|Iapygians]]" (Herod. 7.170).
 
[[Strabo]] places them to the north of the [[Calabria|Calabri]].<ref>"...on the north [of the land of the [[Calabria|Calabri]]], are the Peucetii and also those people who in the Greek language are called [[Dauni]], but the natives give the name Apulia to the whole country that comes after that of the Calabri, though some of them, particularly the Peucetii, are called Poedicli also." (''Geography'' VI.3).</ref> In the time of Strabo the territory occupied by Peuceti lay on the mule-track that was the only connection between [[Brindisi]] and [[Benevento]].<ref>"There are two roads from [[Brindisi|here]]: one, a mule-road through the countries of the Peucetii (who are called Poedicli) the Daunii[[Dauni]], and the [[Samnites|Samnitae]] as far as [[Beneventum]]..." (''Geography'' VI.7.</ref> Ceramic evidence justifies Strabo's classification of Daunii, Peucetii and Messapii, who were all speakers of the [[Messapian language]]. There were twelve tribal statelets among the Peucetii, one of which is represented by modern [[Altamura]].
 
The ''[[Encyclopédie]]'' under "Peuceti", distinguishes as another ancient people, the ''Peucetioe'' who were living in [[Liburnia]] at the head of the [[Adriatic Sea|Adriatic]].<ref>"Il ne faut pas les confondre avec les ''Peucetioe'', peuple de la [[Liburnia|Liburnie]], selon [[Callimachus|Callimaque]], cité par [[Pliny the Elder|Pline]], liv. III. ch. xxj. qui dit que leur pays étoit de son tems, compris sous [[Illyria|l'Illyrie]]."
