ErythraeAncient Ionic city, western Anatolia. Located on the Aegean coast opposite the island of Chios, it was one of the 12 Ionian Cities. The original site of the settlement is uncertain, but, from the 4th century BC, it was located at modern Ildir, Tur., where traces of the wall circuit, theatre, and citadel are visible. It took various sides in 5th-century-BC Greek politics, came under Persian control, and was freed by Alexander the Great in 334 BC. A free city in the Roman province of Asia, it was noted for its wine and goats, as well as for its prophetic Sibyls, Herophile and Athenais. How to thank TFD for its existence?
