Teredon

Teredon (Ancient Greek: Τερηδών, romanized: Terēdṓn) was an ancient port city in southern Mesopotamia. The place could not be localized so far archaeologically, but is believed to be in Kuwait near Basra.^[1][2][3] The place is mentioned several times by ancient writers. It is said to have been founded by Nebuchadnezzar II, who built a palace with hanging gardens here.^[4] Teredon is said to have been located at the mouth of the Euphrates in the Persian Gulf and was an important port city in the Empire of the Characene.
