Doliones

The Doliones ( ancient Greek οἱ Δολίονες, οἱ Δολιεῖς , also Dolions ) were a Thracian people in Mysia in antiquity who settled in the vicinity of the city of Kyzikos between the rivers Aisepos and Rhyndakos and the Daskylitic lake . The mythical ruler Kyzikos is said to have led the Dolions from Thessaly to Mysia and founded the city of Kyzikos. According to Strabon , their progenitor was Dolion , the son of Silenus with Melia .

After the Doliones, the landscape in which they lived was called Dolionia or Dolionis ( Δολιονία or Δολιονίς ).
