From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rhodius or Rhodios (Ancient Greek: Ῥόδιος) was a river of the ancient Troad, having its sources in Mount Ida, a little above the town of Astyra; it flowed in a northwestern direction, and after passing by Astyra and Cremaste, discharged itself into the Hellespont between Dardanus and Abydus.[1][2][3][4] Strabo states that some regarded the Rhodius as a tributary of the Aesepus;[5] but they must have been mistaken, as the river is mentioned on the coins of Dardanus.[6] Pliny the Elder states that this ancient river no longer existed in his time;[4] and some modern writers identify it with the Pydius mentioned by Thucydides.[7][8] Strabo also writes that the towns of Cleandria and Gordus were located on this river.[9]
