In what region was a city founded as a polis in 497 BC by colonists from an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia?
Myrkinos Myrkinos (Ancient Greek: Μύρκινος ) was an ancient Greek city located in Macedonian Thrace, in the region of Edonis between the Strymon and the Nestos Rivers. It was within the territory of the Edonians, a Thracian tribe, and was founded as a polis by colonists from Miletus in 497 BC. The colonists were led by Histiaios (already a Tyrant of Miletus), whom Darius had allowed to build a city in reward for his help. Myrkinos joined Brasidas after he captured Amphipolis, Oisyme and Galepsus in 422 BC. During the Byzantine empire it was known as Ancient Greek: Δοξόμπος or Δοξόμπους.
Priene Priene (Ancient Greek: Πριήνη  "Priēnē" ; Turkish: "Prien" ) was an ancient Greek city of Ionia (and member of the Ionian League) at the base of an escarpment of Mycale, about 6 km north of the then course of the Maeander (now called the Büyük Menderes or "Big Maeander") River, 67 km from ancient Anthea, 15 km from ancient Aneon and 25 km from ancient Miletus. It was formerly on the sea coast, built overlooking the ocean on steep slopes and terraces extending from sea level to a height of 380 m above sea level at the top of the escarpment. Today, after several centuries of changes in the landscape, it is an inland site. It is located at a short distance west of the modern village Güllübahçe Turun in the Söke district of Aydın Province, Turkey.
