#Greek #Troas #Abydos #Çanakkale #Nara
The city of Abydos itself lies between two capes on the European shore and has a harbour which affords protection from all winds. Without putting in to the harbour it is absolutely impossible to anchor off the city owing to the swiftness and strength of the current in the straits [ΠΟΛΥΒΙΟΣ,16.29.3-14].

#Troas #Ilion [#Ilium]
#Hector, the eldest son of Troy's King Priam and Queen Hecuba, is the first national hero of #Anatolia. It is a symbol not only of the city of Ilium, also for all of the people of #Anatolia. #Homer compares #Hector with #Ares in terms of his fighting skills. Because Hector's role in the war is quite big and important.
He had to lead the armies and inspire trust. The decision, responsibility and obligation are in his responsibility. During the war, he was killed by #Achilles outside the walls of the city of Ilion in front of his wife and family.

🔶Truva'nın son kralı Priam/Priamos, #Laomedon ve #Strymo'nun oğluydu ve adı başlangıçta #Podarkes'ti. Laomedon, Hesione'yi deniz canavarından kurtarması karşılığında Herakles'e vaat edilen ödülü ödemeyi reddettiğinde, Herakles Laomedon'u ve Podarkes hariç tüm oğullarını öldürdü. Podarkes o zamandan beri Yunanca'da #kurtarılmış anlamına gelen #Priam adını almıştır. #Truva'nın kralı olduğunda, birçok çocuğu olduğu #Hekabe ile evlendi. Kral Priam Truva Savaşı'nın sonunda Aşil'in oğlu #Neoptolemos tarafından öldürülmüştür.
🔶Ilion [#Troya] antik kentinde darb edilmiş Roma İmparatoru Commodus'a ait çok nadir olan örnek antik sikkenin arka yüzünde #Truva Kralı Priamos, Frigya başlığı takmış ve uzun asa tutmaktadır.

Ey tanrıça, Peleus'un oğlu Akhilleus'un öfkesini [#menis] söyle.
🔶MÖ yedinci yüzyılda Aeolians tarafından antik #Truva'nın bulunduğu yerde kurulan #İlion [#Truva], gelişti ve sonunda başarılı bir #Helenistik ve #Roma şehri haline geldi. Pers Kralı Xerxes ve daha sonra Büyük İskender tarafından ziyaret edilen ünlü bir Athena [İlias] tapınağına sahiptir. Romalılar, Aeneas efsanesi ve Roma'nın kurucularının #Truva kökenli olduğu geleneği nedeniyle her zaman İlion'a büyük bir saygı duymuşlardır.
🔶MÖ 189'da Küçük Asya'daki Seleukos otoritesinin çöküşüyle, İlion, Batı Küçük Asya'nın diğer birçok topluluğu gibi, büyük ve etkileyici tetradrahmiler çıkararak kraliyet otoritesinden kurtuluşunu tanrıça Athena İlias'ı onurlandırarak kutlamıştır.
🔶Bu antik sikkelerde görünen isimler teknik olarak antik sikke darbından sorumlu kişiler [#magistrate] değil, antik sikkelerin üzerinde tanınma karşılığında sikke darbını finanse eden zengin ve nüfuzlu vatandaşlardır [örn.ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ:Demetrios]. Bu isimler exergue'de [antik sikkenin arka yüzü] gururla sergilendi ve böylece kolektif kamu hafızasında tanrıça Athena İlias ile kurnazca bağlantı kurdular.

🔶Ey Olimpos'taki konaklarınızı koruyan Musalar [İlham perileri], şimdi bana söyleyin, Akhaların gemilerine nasıl ateş atıldı? Hektor yaklaşıp büyük kılıcıyla Ajax'ın kül rengi mızrağına saldırdı. Mızrağın sapına tutturulmuş ucun hemen arkasından onu ikiye böldü. Bu nedenle Ajax'ın elinde başsız bir mızraktan başka bir şey yoktu, bronz uç ise çok uzağa uçtu ve yere çınlayarak indi.
🔶Ajax bu işte göklerin parmağının olduğunu biliyordu ve Zeus'un kendisini tamamen savunmasız bıraktığını ve Truvalılar için zafer istediğini görünce dehşete düştü. Bu nedenle geri çekildi ve Truvalılar gemiye ateş açtılar ve gemi hemen alevler içinde kaldı [Il. XVI.112-124]. İlyada'daki bu bölüm, Zeus'un #Truva prensi ve baş savaşçısı Hektor'a iyilik bahşetmesi ve Truvalıları harekete geçirmesiyle savaşın gidişatının değişmesini anlatır.
🔶Şiirin daha akılda kalıcı anlarından birinde Ajax sanki tek başına, elinde on iki arşın uzunluğunda büyük bir deniz mızrağı ile #Truva kuvvetlerine karşı gemileri savunur [XV.823-824]. Ancak Hektor geldiğinde, Ajax bitkindir ve Truva kahramanı zahmetsizce silahını elinden alır. Truvalılar bir gemiyi yakar, ancak Patroklos en korkulan Yunan savaşçısı Aşil'in zırhına bürünerek savaş alanına çıktığında filo kurtulur.

#Troas #Gargara Antik Kenti
#Çanakkale #Ayvacık #Nusratlı
Adını Zeus ile Larissa'nın oğlu Gargaros'tan almış olan #Gargara antik kenti, Homeros'un #İlyada destanında bahsettiği gibi verimli topraklarıyla ünlüydü ve ilk Delian birliğinin üyesiydi. #Homeros; antik kentin zirvesinde Zeus'a adanmış bir sunak olduğu söylenir ve bu nedenle Gargara [ΓΑΡΓΑΡΑ] antik kenti tanrının sık sık ziyaret ettiği bir yerdir.
Gargara [ΓΑΡΓΑΡΑ] antik kenti’nin Arıklı sahiline taşınmadan önce ilk yerleştikleri bölge Kazdağları'nın üç zirvesinden biri olan ve bugün Koca Kaya olarak bilinen Gargaron Dağı'nın altında bulunuyordu.

#Troas #Lampsakos Antik Kenti
#Çanakkale #Lapseki
Eski adı Pityousa [ΠΙΤΥΟΥΣΑ - Çam kaplı] veya Pitya [ΠΙΤΥΑ] olan Lampsakos [ΛΑΜΨΑΚΟΣ] antik kenti, MÖ 654/3 yüzyılda Foça'dan [Phokaia] gelen göçmenler tarafından günümüz #Çanakkale #Lapseki ilçesinde kurulmuş ve antik çağda şarabının kalitesiyle birlikte doğurganlık tanrısı Priapus'a tapınmanın başlıca merkezi olarak ün kazanmıştır.
Yalnızca #Strabon Lampsakos'un bir Milet kolonisi olduğuna inanıyordu. Ancak Foça'nın Lampsakos'un metropolü olduğu gerçeği, her iki şehirde de ortak olan hem epigrafik metinler hem de takvim ayrıntılarıyla kanıtlanmaktadır.
Lampsakos [ΛΑΜΨΑΚΟΣ] antik kentinin Delos Birliği'ne ödediği yüksek vergi [300 kg gümüş] ve altın sikke darbı yapması Lampsakos'un bölgenin en zengin şehirleri arasında olduğunu göstermektedir.
Hippalectryon, Lampsakos için bir şehir rozeti olsa da, birçok nümismat ve sanat galerisi, Lampsakos sikkelerinin arka yüzündeki figürü Pegasos olarak yorumlasa da, antik sikkeler üzerinde kuyruğun işlenme şekli morfolojik olarak Hippolectryon'u daha çok anımsatmaktadır. Hippalectryon ikonografik olarak Yunan bölgesinde, her şeyden önce, Pegasos motifinin bir varyasyonu da olabileceği Atina'nın çömleklerinde görülmektedir. © @AntikSikkeler

#Greek #Troas #Kolone [Kolonai] KOΛΩNΛEΩN
#Çanakkale #Kösedere #Tavaklı #Hisarlı #Arabakonağı
Kolonai or Kolone was a ancient #Greek city on the coast of #Troas, south of #Troy and opposite Tenedos. Kolonai was the home of the historian Daes.
#Strabo provides our only information on Daes in a brief quotation from his work on the history of Kolonai: Daes of Kolonai says that the temple of Apollo Killaios was first founded in Kolonai by the Aeolians who sailed from #Greece. The cult of Apollo Killaios was local to the southern #Troas and #Lesbos and is first mentioned in #Homer's #Iliad.
The Aeolian identity of 4th century BC Kolonai is independently confirmed by the legends on their coins which were spelt in the Aeolic Greek dialect. In #Greek #mythology, the king of Kolonai during the #Trojan Wars was Kyknos. He was killed on the first day of the #Trojan Wars by #Achilles.
This story does not appear in the #Iliad, but does in the Kypria, which is thought to have been composed slightly later than the Iliad in the latter half of the 7th century BC. Kyknos appears on two separate occasions in Pindar [ΠΙΝΔΑΡΟΣ], suggesting that by the early 5th century BC the myth had some currency.
The mid-1st century BC Greek historian Diodorus Siculus [ΔΙΟΔΩΡΟΣ ΣΙΚΕΛΙΩΤΗΣ] related a story about Kyknos which he attributed to the inhabitants of Tenedos, an island not far north of Kolonai, in which Kyknos' son Tennes founded Tenedos and gave it has name. A similar connection between the mythical king of Kolonai and the foundation of Tenedos was made two centuries later by the writer Pausanias [ΠΑΥΣΑΝΙΑΣ].

#Greek Islands off #Troas, #Tenedos #Bozcaada
#Tenedos was an island of strategic importance throughout antiquity due to its location at the entrance to the #Hellespont, which ensured every ship sailing to or from the #Propontis and the Black Sea would pass by. It is referenced in both #Homer's #Iliad and #Virgil's #Aeneid, in the latter as the place where the #Greek fleet was concealed towards the end of their siege of #Troy in order to trick the #Trojans into taking the fateful #Trojan horse within the walls of the city.
Seen on Tenedos coins #labrys is a reference to the Tenedian foundational myth, in which the hero Tenes used an axe to sever the mooring lines of his father's ship when he attempted to land on the island to reconcile with his son. In #Pausanias' version of the myth, he concludes "for this reason a by-word has arisen, which is used of those who make a stern refusal: so and so has cut whatever it may be with an axe of Tenedos" [#ΠΑΥΣΑΝΙΑΣ 10.14.4].
Indeed, #Cicero, writing jokes to his brother Quintus about Tenedos' unsuccessful request to the Roman senate to be made a free city: "well then, the liberty of the Tenedians has been chopped by the Tenedian axe" [Letters to his brother Quintus, 2.9].
The early coinage of Tenedos bore janiform heads similar to the one here, but on those the male head was bare and without a laurel wreath. Those heads portrayed two characters from a local foundation legend: Tenes and his young step-mother and lover, Philonome.
However, even in ancient times the combination of the janiform, male/female head and the double axe on the reverse gave rise to tales of the punishment for adultery, and by the end of the 5th century the head on the coins of Tenedos was transformed into one of #Zeus and #Hera.

Unsere Arbeit zu den Fundmünzen von #Assos im @troyamuzesi ist für dieses Jahr abgeschlossen. Vielen Dank an Ayşenur Bozkurt für die gute Betreuung. #Troas @Corpus_Nummorum @bbaw_de #Münzkabinett_Berlin @kulturSPK #museumistmehr
Was ist hier zu sehen? Eine Geste auf dem #Totenbett, eine letzte Innigkeit. Szenen aus dem troianischen Sagenkreis im hellenistischem Tempel des Apollon Smintheus. #Troas
#Archäologen setzen in allen Zeiten jeweils innovative Verfahren zur Gewinnung von #Bildern ein. @nfdi4objects Gesehen #otd im #Museum vom Apollon Smintheios-Heiligtum in der #Troas.
#Greek #Troas #Skepsis
#Çanakkale #Bayramiç #Kurşunlu
ΣΚΗΨΙΩΝ ΚΟΝΩΝΟΣ ΠΟΣΙΔΑΙΟΥ : Konon, son of Posidaios [or vice versa].
#Skepsis was abandoned in 310 BC during the synoecism that lead to the foundation of Antigoneia, the later Alexandria Troas, by Antigonos Monophthalmos in 310. However, many of the exiles returned some years later with the permission of #Lysimachos and the city even housed a short-lived Seleukid royal mint in the mid 3rd century BC.
With the emergence of this exceptional coin, now evidence, for the first time, that #Skepsis also joined the list of cities in western Asia Minor to strike a stephanophoric #silver coinage on the #Attic weight standard in the late #Hellenistic time.
