	GEOGRAPHY OF ANATOLIA AND ASIA MINOR
		Land is bordered by the three seas being, Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea) on north, by Aigaios Pelagos (Aegean Sea) on west, by Thalassa (Mediterranean Sea) on south and an inner sea Propontis (sea of Marmara) on the northwest.
		The Seas of Pontus Euxinus and Propontis are connected with a long narrow strait known as Bosporus Thrakios (Bosphorus).
		Propontis sea is separated from Aigaois Pelagos by another strait Hellespont or Dardanelles.

	Mysia
		It was bounded by Lydia and Phrygia on the south, by Bithynia on the north-east, and by the Propontis and Aegean Sea on the north and west.
		In the northern portion of the province are two considerable lakes, Artynia[?] or Apolloniatis (Abulliont Geul), and Aphnitis[?] (Maniyas Geul), which discharge their waters into the Macestus from the east and west respectively.
		The most important cities were Pergamum in the valley of the Caicus, and Cyzicus on the Propontis.

	Selymbria
		Selymbria, or Selybria, the city of Selys on the Propontis, was a colony of the Megarians founded before Byzantium.
		In 410 B.C. Aleibiades, who commanded in the Propontis for the Athenians, was not allowed to enter the town, but the inhabitants paid him a sum of money; somewhat later he captured it by treason and left a garrison there.
		In 351 B.C., Selymbria was an ally of the Athenians and in 343 was perhaps attacked by Philip.

		A faint dusky bowl-shaped area was enhanced by the four darker shadings of Aphnitis Fons, Propontis I, Castorius Lacus and Phlegra.
		Propontis I was wide and dusky with Castorius Lacus to its E; its N border to Herculis Pons was dark and quite easy, elongated.
		Propontis II was pointed at its E and W ends and very prominent, joining Lemuria along the 70th parallell.

	Cyzicus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Founded by Miletus in 675 B.C. Aeolian sailors early occupied the Propontis but the Milesians overcame them when they established their colonies at Cyzicus and Sestos (c.700-675 B.C.) This region afforded fertile land and trade with the Thracians and Bithynians, but its importance derived from its strategic position at the entrance of the Black Sea.
		The Propontis was a natural pond for trapping the large, fat, nutritive tunny.
		Its fame among the backward tribes dwelling beyond the Propontis and Black Sea is illustrated by the story of the Scythian Anacharsis who after his visit to the city introduced the worship of the great mother-goddess into his native country.

	Proconnesus
		Proconnesus was the name of an island situated in the eastern part of the Propontis, between Priapus (now Kara Bogha) and Cyzicus.
		It was also the name of the capital of this island colonized by Milesians or Samians and the country of the poet Aristeas.
		Proconnesus was renowned for its quarry of white marble, used in constructing the adjoining towns, particularly that of Cyzicus, and the tomb of Mausoleus at Halicarnassus, later of Constantinople.

	Mysia - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.
		Generally speaking, the northern portion was known as Mysia Minor or Hellespontica and the southern as Major or Pergamene.
		The most important cities were Pergamum (q.v.) in the valley of the Caucus, and Cyzicus on the Propontis.

		The Troad is bounded on the N. by the Hellespont and the westernmost part of the Propontis, on the W. by the Aegean Sea and on the S. by the Gulf of Adramyttium.
		In the widest acceptation, the Troad was identified with the whole of western and southwestern Mysia, from the Aesepus, which flows into the Propontis, a little west of Cyzicus, to the Caicus, which flows into the Aegean south of Atarneus.
		But the true eastern boundary is undoubtedly the range of Ida, which, starting from near the southeast angle of the Adramyttian Gulf, sends its northwestern spurs nearly to the coast of the Propontis, in the region west of the Aesepus and east of the Granicus.

		But I have every reason to believe that the food of the sperm whale- squid or cuttle-fish-lurks at the bottom of that sea, because large creatures, but by no means the largest of that sort, have been found at its surface.

	Mysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major rivers in the northern part of the province are the Macestus and its tributary, the Rhyndacus, both of which rise in Phrygia, and, after diverging widely through Mysia, unite their waters below the lake of Apollonia about 15 miles from the Propontis.
		In the Iliad, Homer represents the Mysians as allies of Troy, with the Mysian forces led by Ennomus (a prophet) and Chromius, sons of Arsinous.
		Homer does not mention any cities or landmarks in Mysia, and it is not clear exactly where Homeric Mysia was situated, although it was probably located somewhere between the Troad (to the northwest of Mysia) and Lydia/Maeonia (to its south).
