Some fathers of history, (based on Diti- contemporary Cretan concerning the war of Troy), wish that Antenore as the first to land on the island should build a city, of the dark appearance of its woods called ''Corcira Melaena''.  Other followers of his position claim that they should not be exiles of Ilius, but fugitives of Gnido.

The truth of this claim, considering the mythological chronology of the grammatical Alexandrian Heratostene, would oblige us to go back to approximately 1184 BC, at the time in which according to the Bible, Gideon judged Israel:  126 years prior to David coming to the throne.  But the historian, more traditional than anything else, cannot rely on vague claims.  Yet least of all when facing criticism and ''Diti'' and ''Darete'' did not know how to support their historical existence and truth, whether Antenore or Aeneas was the leader, or Gnidi or the Trojans the colonists, the study of local antiquities cannot unless to arouse Trojans the colonists, the study of local antiquities cannot unless to arouse.

From a very old report of not so long discovery, that we don’t consider apocryphal, is noted how frightening the invasion of the Narentani (Neretljani) was for the island, and as to a certain king ''qui fugiens a persecution galearum Narentinorum construxit arcem in Siralievax'',  in which with one hundred of his followers he had stationed himself, succeeded to gather the surrounding defence to himself.  This king would have built other fortresses there:  maxima autem , says the report, ''arx fuit in domorio incolum quem locum appellant Bradat apud domum unius hominis probi, et sacnti quem incolae dicunt Sveti Visko'' – had the inhabitants of Korcula equip six prisons at his own expense, and thus also erect three shelters -  ''in portu ad septentrionem montis sic dicti Gradinae ubi sistebant naves nostril regis clementissimi.....non longe maris interni Insulae aptus locus est ad debellandos piratas fortes Narentinos molestos valde.'' Of all this there are obvious ruins to date.

Despite the relentless defence bravely sustained by the inhabitants, most from the Mattani in the fortress of Siralievaz, every effort was useless, the king was compelled to flee from the island; in fact he was almost taken by the Narentani (Neretljani) in the sortie made from the last western promontory, if he had not been freed on the part of the islander.  The reporter gives his name as Ristle and declares himself minister of the king, after his death which occurred elsewhere with royal brother Ottoniero, states that he returned to the island, where he had a sister desponsata Patron Spaho {{Cquote|''.... domino domorij Sitinitiani (Sitnizza) pulcherimi agri in quo habebat tentorio et capiebat aves ... et inveni, continues, Narentinos depopulasse multa.  Omnes mee vires sestebant in conspectioneagrorum atque navium ... nos non possumus prodire nullibi, nisi in fortes hostes incurramus.''}}  In this hard aggression both towns of which the ruins can still be seen in ''Bradat'' and ''Potirna'', inhabited also by Roman families, as the gravestones and many other ancient pieces not so long ago unearthed bear witness.

A battle took place on the island around the year 829. Exiled from the throne and for the Obeleiro State and Beato Antenonj, or Antonaj, doges, one after the other of Venice, to whom the Curzolani, already confederated of the Narentain (Neretljani), acknowledged friendship and partisan feelings, the latter fleeing to Korcula, where he had correspondences and instruments to recover with the assistance of these in the  ducal seat. But the doge Zuanne Partecipazio, being informed of these schemes, at the head of a strong army descended upon Korcula, which despite powerful losing resistance, saw many of his own killed and the prisoners hanged; the ex doge Beato Antenonio had his ''head cut'' off.  A reporter of the Veneto Region would like that as a result of this fact Korcula and Veglia, where even the Antenonj had partisans, remained subject to those of the Veneto Region. This could occur, but for a brief period with regard to Korcula, the resulting reunion being tough between her and the Narentani (Neretljani), that it however lasted a short time. There is on the island a sunny valley called Dughipod, neighbouring the inundating field known as Blato, in which one could see various and large masses of rocks, and among these the largest and widest, only one on the island, called ''Ducelova gomilla''.  From the previous matter and from the places, which embrace vast close plains suited even for  manoeuvring an army in battle, it is probable that a battle be followed there and that under that impressive mass of rocks was buried the beheaded doge ''Beato Antenonio'', and therefore to that the Slavic name of ''Ducelova gomilla'', namely the doge’s partition wall.
