The elderly king of Tartessos regarded the Phokaians with so much favour as, to beg them to quit Ionia and settle in whatever part of his country they liked.

Nevertheless, as they were preparing to depart for Cyrnus, more than half of their number were seized with such sadness and so great a longing to see once more their city and their ancient homes, that they broke the oath by which they had bound themselves and sailed back to Phokaia. HerodotosIt was possible to find any kind of job, there was bread there (.) Nobody knew what poverty meant.
