Sigeion
Sigeion (Ancient Greek: , ''Sigeion''; Latin: ''Sigeum'') was an ancient Greek city in the north-west of the Troad region of Anatolia located at the mouth of the Scamander (the modern Karamenderes River).〔Herodotus 5.65.3: ('Sigeion on the Scamander').〕 Sigeion commanded a ridge between the Aegean Sea and the Scamander which is now known as Yenişehir and is a part of the Çanakkale district in Çanakkale province, Turkey.〔Cook (1973) 184-5.〕 The surrounding region was referred to as the Sigean Promonotory, which was frequently used as a point of reference by ancient geographers since it marked the mouth of the Hellespont.〔Herodotus 4.38.2, Strabo 7 fr. 52, 58, 13.1.32, 36, Pomponius Mela 2.100, Pliny the Elder, ''Naturalis Historia'' 2.245, 5.140, 150, Ptolemy, ''Geography'' 5.2.3, Agathemerus 18, 19.〕 The outline of this promontory is no longer visible due to the alluvial activity of the Karamenderes which has filled in the embayment east of Yenişehir.〔Luce (1984).〕 The name 'Sigeion' means 'silent place' and is derived from Ancient Greek (''sigē''), 'silence'; in Classical Antiquity, the name was assumed to be antiphrastic, i.e. indicating a characteristic of the place contrary to reality, since the seas in this region are known for their fierce storms.〔Claudius Aelianus, ''Varia Historia'' 12.13, Schol. (''vetus'') in Sophocles, ''Philoctetes'' 355, ''Etymologicum Gudianum'' s.v. , ''Etymologicum Magnum'' s.v. , Isidore of Seville, ''Etymologiae'' 14.7.2.
