Según el Historiador Heródoto "tres hermanos -Gavanes, Aéropo y Pérdicas- que descendían de Ténemo huyeron de Argos a Iliria, desde donde pasaron a la Alta Macedonia y llegaron a la ciudad de Lebea En dicha ciudad trabajaron a sueldo al servicio del monarca: uno apacentaba caballos, el otro bueyes y Pérdicas,el más joven de los tres, ganado menor... . "se establecieron en los jardines que, según Heródoto, pertenecieron al reyMidas, el mítico rey de Frigia Se alzaba allí el monte Bermio.Se adueñaron de la región y usándola como base de operaciones conquistaron el resto de Macedonia, es decir los territorios costeros entre el río Haliacmón y el Axio , así como la Macedonia meridional y septentrional, en perjuicio, sobre todo, depeonio y tracios Este proceso de extensión del Reino de Macedonia fue paulatino, prolongándose por espacios de tres siglos y medio.#
