Legends narrate the divine origins of Cori, whose ancient name was Còra (Còre in archaic Corese dialect): according to one of these narratives Cora was founded by the Trojan Dardano, another mythology tells that the town was built by a king of Alba Longa, yet another tells us that the founder was Aeneas.
After the town was destroyed, Corace, a veteran of the Trojan war, would have landed on the remains of the same, would have rebuilt it, giving it his name. The name may actually derive from the archaic Latin Corax (Crow), intended as a totemic animal.
