Which modern day Libyan city has its origins in the times of Ancient Greece that helped form the Pentapolis of Cyrenaica along with the cities of Ptolemais, Tauchira, Apollonia and Euesperides?
Cyrene, Libya Cyrene ( ; Ancient Greek: Κυρήνη, "Kyrēnē" ) was an ancient Greek and Roman city near present-day Shahhat, Libya. It was the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region. It gave eastern Libya the classical name "Cyrenaica" that it has retained to modern times.
Soli, Cilicia Soli (Greek: Σόλοι , "Soloi") was an ancient city and port in Cilicia, in present-day Turkey, a part of Mezitli municipality which in turn is a part of Greater Mersin. It was a colony of Rhodes, founded c. 700 BC. Soli was destroyed in the 1st century BC, and rebuilt by Pompey the Great. Thereafter, it was called Pompeiopolis (Greek: Πομπηιούπολις ), not to be confused with the Pompeiopolis in Paphlagonia. The word solecism is derived from Soli, since the dialect of Greek spoken there was considered by Athenians to be a corrupted form of Attic Greek.
