Aeolis

For coins inscribed ΑΙΟΛΕ see Lesbos, p. 559, infra.

Aegae (Nemrud Kalessi), like Temnus, lay inland. It is doubtful whether its coinage begins before the third century (see, however, B. M. C., Troas, p. lviii; cf. Imh., Kleinas. M., p. 46). Apollo Chresterios was worshipped at this city (B. M. C., Troas, p. 98). On the Goat’s head as παρασημον, see Papers of American School, i. 27.

Cyme (Namourt), one of the oldest and noblest of the Aeolian cities (B. M. C., Troas, p. xlix), probably a colony of Cyme in Euboea, though according to tradition it was founded by the Amazon Kyme (cf. Imhoof, ‘Die Amazonen auf griech. Münzen,’ in Nomisma, ii. p. 1 f.). Its inhabitants were mainly agricultural, and averse to seafaring.

Tradition points to an early issue of electrum or gold at Cyme (B. M. C., Troas, &c., Introd., p. xlix f.), and some uninscribed electrum pieces may possibly belong to it, although from their weight and fabric it is more probable that they were issued at Chios (Babelon, Traité, p. 334).

Grynium, 40 stadia from Myrina (B. M. C., Troas, &c., p. liv and 133), had an oracle and fine marble temple of the Grynean Apollo (cf. coins of Myrina). Pliny (N. H., xxxii. 6, 21) mentions the ostrea that came from the neighbourhood of Grynium and Myrina.

Larissa Phriconis (Bourounjik) in the Hermus valley.

Myrina (Kalabassary) on the Pythikos. The chief types refer to the Apollo worshipped at Grynium (q. v.), but an amphora, apparently, con- stituted the town-arms (B. M. C., Troas, &c., lvi). Circ. B.C. 400 Myrina was ruled by the tyrant Gongylos (brother of Gorgion; cf. Gambrium, Mys.). Bronze pieces with a monogram on the rev., supposed to be his, have been doubtfully assigned to Myrina (N. C., 1894, p. 317; Hunter Cat., ii. p. 310).
