[2] King Cyzicus is sometimes referred to as a Thessalian migrant (hence his hospitality to the Argonauts, many of whom hailed from Thessaly, including Jason himself).
After the departure of the Argonauts in Lemnos, they landed in the island of the Doliones[5] of whom Cyzicus was the king.
[6] Valerius Flaccus recounts this account in the following passage: When day broke, the Argonauts realized their tragic mistake, and granted Cyzicus an elaborate burial.
[7][8][9] After the burial, the Argonauts handed over the kingdom to Cyzicus's sons,[2] then sailed away and touched at Mysia.
King Cyzicus left behind his young bride Cleite, who hung herself after her husband's tragic death.
