Cenchreae (Troad)

Cenchreae or Kenchreai (Ancient Greek: Κεγχρεαί) was a city of the ancient Troad. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, the city was that "in which Homer lived while he was inquiring of the things that concerned the Trees.".^[1] Another tradition, of no more value, makes it the birthplace of Homer.^[2]

Its site is located near modern Kayalı Dağ.^[3][4]
