Maionia/Mysia (region)

region · 330 BC – 300 AD

An ancient region in Lydia, located at the base of mount Tmolus (the modern Boz Dağ in Turkey) and in the vicinity of the Gygaie Limne (modern Marmara Gölü). In discussing the Katakekaumene, Strabo implies some variance in traditions about whether it should be considered Maionian or Mysian (i.e., the footprints of the two regional names may have overlapped).
