Leleges
The Leleges were one of the aboriginal peoples of Greece, the Aegean and southwest Anatolia (compare "Pelasgians"), who were already to be found there when the Indo-European Hellenes arrived. The name Leleges is probably a Greek term itself and not an autonym, or a name these people applied to themselves. According to Apollodorus the name was derived from an eponymous king named Lelex; a comparable etymology, memorializing a legendary founder, is provided by Greek mythographers for virtually every tribe of Hellenes, however.
