Mysia
Mysia (Greek Μυσία Mysía ) is the name of a historical landscape in the north-west of ancient Asia Minor . Mysia was neither geographically nor economically, administratively or politically a unit.
In the north, Mysia borders the Hellespont and the Propontis ; in the east the river Rhyndakos and the mountain range of the Mysi-Bithynian Olympus ( Uludağ ) form the border against Bithynia . In the west, the Aisepos forms the border to the Troas , whereby this landscape is often still counted as part of Mysia. Furthermore, the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Adramyttion form the west and south-west borders. The border in the south and southeast is more difficult to define, Mysia bordered here on Phrygia , Lydia and the Aiolis .
Characterization and meaning
As Mysien differing areas of northwestern Asia Minor have been identified since antiquity in its borders. One encounters the term in Greek mythology , during the Persian Empire , under Alexander the Great , during the Hellenistic and Roman times to late antiquity .
Strabon writes that the landscape boundaries with Phrygia in the east are difficult to draw. The reason lies in the fact that immigrants did not take firm possession of the land, but rather expelled others or were expelled again themselves. This characterization of indefinite boundaries and structures runs through the history of Mysia, which did not give any political or administrative structure its name, although a hypothetical kingdom of Mysia, ruled by the Mithridates , was assumed for the time of the Persian Empire. According to ancient perception, Mysia was a land of passage both in mythology and in historical times.
In the Argonaut legend, the heroes sailed to Kyzikos and Kios in search of the Golden Fleece. The Persian kings Darius I and Xerxes I marched through Mysia in the wars against the Greeks, and Xenophon led the “ procession of 10,000 ” through the countryside to the Mysian Pergamon . In Mysia, Alexander the Great defeated in 334 BC. His first battle against the Persian Empire at Granikos . Mithridates VI moved to Pergamon . his headquarters during the Mithridatic Wars . As a transit area, Mysia had important roads from the Persian period to late antiquity, which connected Europe with inner Anatolia and the Black Sea coast and found their counterpart in the Balkans.
geography
Strabo divided Mysia into a "Mysia Olympene" and a "Mysia Pergamene" and Claudius Ptolemy spoke of a small and a large Mysia. The landscape was mountainous and wooded with water-rich plains and swamps that increased towards the sea.
The most famous mountain range in the region is the Ida Mountains , a "large and multi-armed" mountain range from which many rivers arise. It probably got its name from the Greek ἴδω (= ἒδω), which means to see and indicates its height. Another mountain is the Uludağ , which is equated with the mountain from which, according to Greek legend, the gods pursued the Trojan War . Another summit worth mentioning is the Alexandreia performed by Strabo and Claudius Ptolemy. The mountain is located above Antandros and was made famous by Paris , who chose the most beautiful of the goddesses there.
The area of Abarnia in the north of Mysia was sung about by Orpheus in the saga of the Argonauts , according to Greek mythology . It is mentioned in Xenophon and Stephanos of Byzantium . It is said to have got its name from an Abarnis , one of the founders of Lampsakos , and to have been inhabited by Phokers . Also in the north was Abrettene , mentioned by Strabo and Pliny the Elder . According to Stephanos of Byzantium, the area is said to have received its name from the nymph Brettia . Atarneus is a grain-rich stretch of land on the coast of Aeolia opposite Lesbos, handed down from Herodotus and Xenophon . The region is sometimes included in Lydia . Other well-known areas are Bebrykia , Teuthrania and Troas .
Rivers
Many rivers of Mysia were navigable for long stretches by ships and thus provided important traffic routes that underlined the character of the landscape as a transit and bridge land.

During the Hellenistic period, the cities of Asia Minor prospered. In promoting the cities, the Seleucids oriented themselves to the old communication routes and connected Asia Minor with the regions further east. In the cities monuments, temples and sanctuaries were built under the patronage of the Hellenistic kings, the ruins of which can be seen to this day. The most famous example in Mysia is the capital of the Attalids , Pergamon , which experienced its heyday during this period.
During the Roman Empire , the two cities of Hadrianeia and Hadrianoi , as the name suggests, were founded by the Emperor Hadrian in Mysia .

economy
As in the rest of Asia Minor, the cities on the coast of Mysia were the economic, political, and cultural centers. They showed the wealth of the society of that time and the sphere of influence of the respective rulers. Since Mysia had the character of a landscape that one traversed, one could expect approaches to an infrastructure in the interior that would make such a journey possible. The infrastructure for this finds a traditional expression only during the rule of the Roman Empire in Roman roads and bridges. From Pergamon to Nicomedia and Ephesus , from Nicomedia to Ankyra and along the southern coast of the Black Sea to Sinope , Mysia was the gateway from Europe to Asia and vice versa. There are very rudimentary traditions about other structures in the interior, such as organization, economy and culture.
Asia Minor has abundant metal deposits that were already exploited in ancient times . The most important copper deposits were to the east and northeast of the Halys . Copper sites are also known from Mysia, which are classified as neither rich nor poor. They were sufficient for limited regional metallurgy . There is evidence of four sites in what is now Çanakkale Province , but the period during which they were exploited is unclear. Six other mining areas for copper, lead and zinc are suspected.
Silver-bearing ore was found in the area of today's villages Korudere, Bergaz Köyü and Balya , even if these could not keep up with the rich deposits in the Taurus Mountains . It is possible that gold was also found in Çanakkale Province.
history
It is believed that Mysia got its name from the Thracian tribe of the Mysoi , who lived in the 12th century BC. Immigrated to the area. Their origin is not clear. Herodotus speaks of an army of the Mysians and Teukrers who crossed the Bosporus “before the Trojan War” . Strabo reports that Phrygians and Mysians ruled the area with unclear borders.
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Relief_mit_einem_Tropaion%2C_Heroon_von_Gj%C3%B6lbaschi-Trysa.jpg/220px-Relief_mit_einem_Tropaion%2C_Heroon_von_Gj%C3%B6lbaschi-Trysa.jpg)
In the late Bronze Age , Mysia was probably part of the Arzawa Empire, although the boundaries are unclear in this as well as the rest of the time. In the late phase of the rewriting of Greek mythologies , the Greeks supposedly held the Mysia landscape for the area around Troy after their arrival and began to plunder it. Telephus , the heir to the Mysian king Teuthras and later ancestor of the Pergamese royal family, opposed them, but was put to flight by Achilles . But all this is a late invention of Pergamene appropriation and reinterpretation of myths.
During the reign of Croesus , Mysia belonged to the Lydian Empire until it fell in 546 BC. Was integrated into the Persian Empire by Cyrus II . According to the traditions of Herodotus, Thucydides and Persian sources, the northwestern area of Mysia was under the Achaemenids until 330 BC. The satrapy Daskylium , called Hellespontic Phrygia by the Greeks . The boundaries are unclear, but probably extended as far as the southern Troas and east into the area of the later Bithynia . Some satraps controlled both sides of the Hellespont. The territory contained estates, fortifications, towns and villages. Inscriptions suggest that there was a local administration with different ethnic groups.
The Spartan king Agesilaus II broke in 395 BC. He entered Mysia with the intention of winning over the Mysians for his campaign to liberate the Greek cities against the Persians. Part of the population joined him, while another part fought against him and was severely punished by him for it.
Mysia, like all of Asia Minor, got caught up in the vortex of the Diadoch Wars, as the example of the city of Helikore shows, which was founded by Antigonus I Monophthalmos and was given a new name by Lysimachos. During the late 3rd or early 2nd century BC The landscape became part of the kingdom of Pergamon and from that point on shared its history.
The Mysians were welcomed as mercenaries in ancient times because of their strength in armies . Under the rule of the Romans , however, like the Asians in general, they had a bad reputation, so that Cicero used the winged word “ultimus Mysorum”, the last of the Mysians, as a term for despicable people.
