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.
Hippos Hippos (Ancient Greek: Ἵππος , "horse") is an archaeological site in Israel, located on a hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Between the 3rd century BC and the 7th century AD, Hippos was the site of a Greco-Roman city, which then declined under Muslim rule and was abandoned after an earthquake in 749. Besides the fortified city itself, Hippos controlled two port facilities on the lake and an area of the surrounding countryside. Hippos was part of the Decapolis, or Ten Cities, a region in Roman Jordan, Syria and Israel that were culturally tied more closely to Greece and Rome than to the Semitic ethnoi around.
