Dascylium ((ギリシア語:Δασκύλιον, Δασκυλεῖον)) was a town in Anatolia some 30 kilometres inland from the coast of the Propontis, at modern Ergili, Turkey. Its site was rediscovered in 1952 and has since been excavated.〔(Dascylium (Ergili) )〕 == History == Excavations have shown that the site was inhabited in the Bronze Age. Phrygians settled there before 750 BC. It came under the control of Lydia. It was then said to be named after Dascylus, the father of Gyges.〔 After the Conquests of Cyrus the Great in 547 BC, Dascylium was chosen as the seat of the Persian satrapy of Hellespontine Phrygia,〔(Donald Fyfe Easton, "Anatolia in the Achaemenian and Hellenistic periods" in ''Encylopaedia Britannica'' )〕 comprising lands of the Troad, Mysia and Bithynia.〔Sparta and Persia: Lectures Delivered at the University of Cincinnati (Cincinnati Classical Studies) (Hardcover) by D. M. Lewis (Page 51 ) ISBN 90-04-05427-8 (1977)〕 Pharnabazus was satrap of Darius III there, until Alexander the Great appointed Calas, who was replaced by Arrhidaeus in the Treaty of Triparadisus. According to Strabo, Hellespontine Phrygia and Phrygia Epictetus comprised Lesser Phrygia (Mysia). Others geographers arranged it differently.〔Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke et al., ''Athenian Letters, or the epistolary correspondence of an agent of the king of Persia, residing at Athens during the Peloponnesian war'', Geographical Index (Asia Minor )〕 When Alexander of Macedon invaded Asia in 334 BC, the first of the major battles by which he overthrew the Achaemenid Empire was fought at the Granicus river on his way to Dascylium from Abydos on the coast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hellespontine Phrygia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
