Strab. 13.1.40
[40] λέγουσι δ᾽ οἱ νῦν Ἰλιεῖς καὶ τοῦτο ὡς οὐδὲ τελέως ἠφανίσθαισυνέβαινεν τὴν πόλιν κατὰ τὴν ἅλωσιν ὑπὸ [p. 841] τῶν Ἀχαιῶν,οὐδ᾽ ἐξελείφθη οὐδέποτε. αἱ γοῦν Λοκρίδες παρθένοι μικρὸνὕστερον ἀρξάμεναι ἐπέμποντο κατ᾽ ἔτος: καὶ ταῦτα δ᾽ οὐχὉμηρικά: οὐδὲ γὰρ τῆς Κασάνδρας φθορὰν οἶδεν Ὅμηρος, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτιμὲν παρθένος ἦν ὑπ᾽ ἐκεῖνον τὸν χρόνον λέγει “ πέφνε γὰρὈθρυονῆα, Καβησόθεν ἔνδον ἐόντα,
ὅς ῥα νέον πτολέμοιο μετὰ κλέος εἰληλούθει.
ᾔτεε δὲ Πριάμοιο θυγατρῶν εἶδος ἀρίστην,
Κασσάνδρην, ἀνάεδνον.
”βίας δὲ οὐδὲ μέμνηται, οὐδ᾽ ὅτι ἡ φθορὰ τοῦ Αἴαντος ἐν τῇναυαγίᾳ κατὰ μῆνιν Ἀθηνᾶς συνέβη ἢ κατὰ τοιαύτην αἰτίαν, ἀλλ᾽ἀπεχθανόμενον μὲν τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ κατὰ τὸ κοινὸν εἴρηκεν （ἁπάντωνγὰρ εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἀσεβησάντων ἅπασιν ἐμήνιεν）, ἀπολέσθαι δὲ ὑπὸΠοσειδῶνος μεγαλορρημονήσαντα: τὰς δὲ Λοκρίδας πεμφθῆναιΠερσῶν ἤδη κρατούντων συνέβη.

The present Ilienses affirm that the city was not entirely demolished when it was taken by the Achaeans, nor at any time deserted. The Locrian virgins began to be sent there, as was the custom every year, a short time afterwards. This however is not told by Homer. Nor was Homer acquainted with the violation of Cassandra, but says that she was a virgin about that time: “‘He slew Othryoneus, who had lately come to the war from Cabesus, induced by the glory of the contest, and who sought in marriage the most beautiful of the daughters of Priam, Cassandra, without a dower.’” He does not mention any force having been used, nor does he attribute the death of Ajax by shipwreck to the wrath of Minerva, nor to any similar cause, but says, in general terms, that he was an object of hatred to Minerva, (for she was incensed against all who had profaned her temple,) and that Ajax died by the agency of Neptune for his boasting speeches. The Locrian virgins were sent there when the Persians were masters of the country. Poets and mythologists subsequent to Homer supposed Cassandra, the daughter of Priam, to have been violated by Ajax, the Locrian; that as a punishment for his crime this hero perished by shipwreck on his return from Troy, and that three years afterwards Locris was visited by a famine, which occasioned great destruction to the inhabitants. The oracle consulted on the occasion of this calamity advised the Locrians to send annually to Minerva of Ilium two young women chosen by lot. They obeyed and continued to send them for 1000 years, until the time of the sacred war.
Apollod. Epit. E.6.20-22
Λοκροὶ δὲ μόλις τὴν ἑαυτῶν καταλαβόντες, ἐπεὶ μετὰ τρίτον ἔτος τὴν Λοκρίδα κατέσχε φθορά, δέχονται χρησμὸν ἐξιλάσασθαι τὴ νἐν Ἰλίῳ Ἀθηνᾶν καὶ δύο παρθένους πέμπειν ἱκέτιδας ἐπὶ ἔτη χίλια. καὶ λαγχάνουσι πρῶται Περίβοια καὶ Κλεοπάτρα. [21] αὗται δὲ εἰς Τροίαν ἀφικόμεναι, διωκόμεναι παρὰ τῶν ἐγχωρίων εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν κατέρχονται: καὶ τῇ μὲν θεᾷ οὐ προσήρχοντο, τὸ δὲ ἱερὸν ἔσαιρόντε καὶ ἔρραινον: ἐκτὸς δὲ τοῦ νεὼ οὐκ ἐξῄεσαν, κεκαρμέναι δὲ ἦσανκαὶ μονοχίτωνεσκαὶ ἀνυπόδετοι. [22] τῶν δὲ πρώτων ἀποθανουσῶν ἄλλας ἔπεμπον: εἰσῄεσαν δὲ εἰς τὴν πόλιν νύκτωρ, ἵνα μὴ φανεῖσαι τοῦ τεμένους ἔξω φονευθῶσι: μετέπειτα δὲ βρέφη μετὰ τροφῶν ἔπεμπον. χιλίων δὲ ἐτῶν παρελθόντων μετὰ τὸν Φωκικὸν πόλεμον ἱκέτιδας ἐπαύσαντο πέμποντες.

The Locrians retaking the the city as their own, since after three years the plague held the Locrians, they received an oracle to propitiate Athena in Ilium and to send two maidens suppliants for a thousand years. And the first ones obtained by lot were Periboia and Kleopatra. These women arrived at Troy, being sought after by the inhabitants while going to the temple: and they did not approach at the goddess, she swept and sprinkled the temple. They did not go outside the temple, their hair was cropped short. Upon the first dying others were sent: they entered into the city by night, in order not to be seen outside the sacred precinct, they should be killed: afterwards they sent a babe in the womb with support. After a thousand years passed with Phocian War the sending of suppliants stopped.
Herodotus VII.42.
ἐποιέετο δὲ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐκ τῆς Λυδίης ὁ στρατὸς ἐπί τε ποταμὸν Κάικον καὶ γῆν τὴν Μυσίην, ἀπὸ δὲ Καΐκου ὁρμώμενος, Κάνης ὄροςἔχων ἐν ἀριστερῇ, διὰ τοῦ Ἀταρνέος ἐς Καρήνην πόλιν: ἀπὸ δὲ ταύτης διὰ Θήβης πεδίου ἐπορεύετο, Ἀδραμύττειόν τε πόλιν καὶ Ἄντανδρον τὴν Πελασγίδα παραμειβόμενος. [2] τὴν Ἴδην δὲ λαβὼν ἐς ἀριστερὴν χεῖρα ἤιε ἐς τὴν Ἰλιάδα γῆν. καὶ πρῶτα μέν οἱ ὑπὸ τῇ Ἴδῃ νύκτα ἀναμείναντι βρονταί τε καὶ πρηστῆρες ἐπεσπίπτουσι καί τινα αὐτοῦ ταύτῃ συχνὸν ὅμιλον διέφθειραν.Source: Perseus
The army made its way from Ludios to the river Kaikon and land of Musia, from the Kaikon they set in motion, the mountain Kanos being on the left, through the Atarneos to the city Karenen: from this city through Theban road the army marched, though the city of Adramutteion and the city of Antandron of the Pelasgians it passed over. Taking Ida on the left hand they went to the land of Ilium. And at first they remained by Ida at night the thunder and the hurricane fell down and some of them in this large crowd were killed.
