Phoenicus (Ionia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phoenicus or Phoinikous (Ancient Greek: Φοινικοῦς) was a port of ancient Ionia, at the foot of Mount Mimas (modern Boz Dağ; on the Karaburun Peninsula).[1][2] Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War after the Battle of Arginusae, the Athenian fleet took refuge in the harbour due to a big storm.[3] Livy notices it in his account of the naval operations of the Romans and their allies against Antiochus III the Great.[4][5]
