Myus (Cilicia)

Myus or Myous (Ancient Greek: Μυούς) was a town on the coast of ancient Cilicia, between Nagidus and Celenderis.^[1] William Smith conjectured it to be the same place as the Myanda or Mysanda mentioned by Pliny the Elder;^[2] and if so, also identical with the town of Mandane (Μανδάνη) mentioned in Stadiasmus Maris Magni as between Celenderis and Cape Pisidium or Posidium (modern Kızıl Burun),^[3] from which it was only 7 stadia distant.^[4][5] Modern scholarship tentatively accepts the identity with Myanda/Mysanda but rejects that of Mandane.^[6]

Myus is tentatively located near Yenikaş in Asiatic Turkey.^[7][6]
