Ophryneion
Ophryneion () was a ancient Greek city in the northern Troad region of Anatolia. Its territory was bounded to the west by Rhoiteion and to the east by Dardanos. It was located about 1.5 km north-east of the village of İntepe (previously known as Erenköy) in Çanakkale Province, Turkey.〔Cook (1973) 72-7 with Fig. 3.〕 The city was situated on the steep brow of a hill overlooking the Dardanelles, hence the origin of its Ancient Greek name (''ophrus''), meaning 'brow of a hill', 'crag'.〔The usage of in Greek is the same as that of 'brow' in English, where it denotes both the physionomic feature and, by virtue of the likeness, the geographical feature: LSJ s.v. A.2.II.〕 ==Foundation== Ophryneion was supposedly one of a series of cities founded by Akamas the son of Theseus which he subsequently passed off as being founded by Ascanius and Skamandrios, the sons of Aeneas and of Hector respectively.〔Scholia in Euripides, ''Andromache'' 10.〕 This story was taken from the 2nd century BC scholar Lysimachus of Alexandria, who related it in Book 2 of his ''Nostoi'', who in turn derived it from a late 4th century BC historian known as Dionysios of Chalkis.〔Lysimachus of Alexandria, ''Nostoi'', ''BNJ'' 382 F 9; see A. Schachter, 'Biography', ''BNJ'' (= ''Brill's New Jacoby'') 382.〕 It has been argued that this tradition reflects a pro-Athenian bias, as it makes the founder of many places in the Troad the son of Athens' most important hero, Theseus, while at the same time explaining away the fact that contemporary traditions made no mention of such a connection.〔B.C. Rose, 'Separating fact from fiction in the Aiolian migration' ''Hesperia'' 77 (2008) 419. An example of the opposing tradition is Hellanicus ''FGrHist'' 4 F 31 = Dionysius of Halicarnassus, ''Roman Antiquities'' 1.46.1, 47.2, which associates the people of Ophyneion with Aeneas' escape from Troy.〕 By contrast with the story of Ophryneion being founded by Akamas, which puts the city's origins in the period immediately following the destruction of Troy, surface surveys conducted on the site suggest that it was occupied no earlier than the 6th century BC.〔Cook (1973) 77.〕
