Mysia is an ancient[?] region In the north-west of Asia Minor.
Generally speaking, the northern portion was known as Mysia Minor or Hellespontica and the southern as Major or Pergamene.
The chief physical features of Mysia (considered apart from that of the Troad) are the two mountain-chains, Olympus (7600 ft.) in the north and Temnus[?] in the south, which for some distance separates Mysia from Lydia, and is afterwards prolonged through Mysia to the neighbourhood of the Gulf of Adramyttium[?].
It was bounded by Lydia and Phrygia on the S., by Bithynia on the N.E., and by the Propontis and Aegean Sea on the N. and W. But its precise limits are difficult to assign, the Phrygian frontier being vague and fluctuating, while in the north-west the Troad was sometimes included in Mysia, sometimes not.
The only considerable rivers are the Macestus and its tributary the Rhyndacus in the northern part of the province, both of which rise in Phrygia, and, after diverging widely through Mysia, unite their waters below the lake of Apollonia about r 5 m.
After his death they were annexed to the Syrian monarchy, of which they continued to form a part until the defeat of Antiochus the Great (190 B.C.), after which they were transferred by the Romans to the dominion of Eumenesof Pergamum.

As they put out from Mysia a storm comes on them and scatters them, and Achilles first puts in at Scyros and married Deidameia, the daughter of Lycomedes, and then heals Telephus, who had been led by an oracle to go to Argos, so that he might be their guide on the voyage to Ilium.

Pausanias passed the shrine to Demeter at Mysia on the road from Mycenae to Argos but all he could draw out to explain the archaic name was a myth of an eponymous Mysius who venerated Demeter.
Major sites for the cult of Demeter were not confined to any localized part of the Greek world: there were sites at Eleusis, in Sicily, Hermion, in Crete, Megara, Celeae, Lerna, Aegila, Munychia, Corinth, Delos, Priene, Akragas, Iasos, Pergamon, Selinus, Tegea, Thorikos, Dion, Lykosoura, Mesembria, Enna, and Samosthrace.She was associated with the Roman goddess Ceres.

An inland province of Asia Minor bounded north by Bithynia and Galatia, east by Cappadocia, south by Lycia, Pisidai, and Isauria, and west by Mysia, Lydia, and Caria.
It was called Phrygia Pacatiana, and also PhrygiaMajor, in distinction from Phrygia Minor, which was a small district of Mysia near the Hellespont, occupied by some Phrygians after the Trojan War.
This region was a high table land, fruitful in corn and wine, and celebrated for its fine breed of cattle and of sheep.

This city was once one of the major metropolitan centers, and the major religious center, of Imperial Styrash, an early Mysian nation whose capitol now lies in ruins in the Rose Hills on the borders of Mysia and Carmania.

Philadelphia is the youngest of the seven cities represented in Revelation, having been founded sometime between 189 and 138 B.C. Now completely encompassed and covered up by the modern city of Alashehir, Philadelphia lay at the eastern head of a broad fertile valley that ran through Sardis and Smyrna before reaching the Aegean Sea.
The cross-road topography of Philadelphia, with major trade routes running through the city, and certain comments of Jesus in the letter to the Philadelphians, has led some commentators to propose a "missionary" potential for the church in Philadelphia
This is not without some foundation, as can be seen in proposals that there is a connection between Philadelphia and the rise of the heretical group, Montanism.
