Xerxes, after having enumerated his armaments, pushed on with the entire army, and the whole fleet accompanied the land forces in their advance as far as the city of Acanthus, and from there the ships passed through the place where the canal had been dug into the other sea expeditiously and without loss.
ΜΕΝΔΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΑΣΣΑΝΔΡΑ
At this time the city of Mende also revolted to the Lacedaemonians and made the quarrel over Scione the more bitter. Consequently Brasidas removed the children and women and all the most valuable property from Mende and Scione and safeguarded the cities with strong garrisons, whereupon the Athenians, being incensed at what had taken place, voted to put to the sword all the Scionaeans from the youth upward, when they should take the city, and sent a naval force of fifty triremes against them, the command of which was held by Nicias and Nicostratus.They sailed to Mende first and conquered it with the aid of certain men who betrayed it; then they threw a wall about Scione, settled down to a siege, and launched unceasing assaults upon it. (Diod. Siculus 12.72.7-9)

ΔΙΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΙΕΡΙΑ
There are many untruths believed by the Greeks, one of which is that Orpheus was a son of the Muse Calliope, and not of the daughter of Pierus, that the beasts followed him fascinated by his songs, and that he went down alive to Hades to ask for his wife from the gods below. In my opinion Orpheus excelled his predecessors in the beauty of his verse, and reached a high degree of power because he was believed to have discovered mysteries, purification from sins, cures of diseases and means of averting divine wrath. But they say that the women of the Thracians plotted his death, because he had persuaded their husbands to accompany him in his wanderings, but dared not carry out their intention through fear of their husbands. Flushed with wine, however, they dared the deed, and hereafter the custom of their men has been to march to battle drunk. Some say that Orpheus came to his end by being struck by a thunderbolt, hurled at him by the god because he revealed sayings in the mysteries to men who had not heard them before. Others have said that his wife died before him, and that for her sake he came to Aornum in Thesprotis, where of old was an oracle of the dead. He thought, they say, that the soul of Eurydice followed him, but turning round he lost her, and committed suicide for grief. The Thracians say that such nightingales as nest on the grave of Orpheus sing more sweetly and louder than others. The Macedonians who dwell in the district below Mount Pieria and the city of Dium say that it was here that Orpheus met his end at the hands of the women. Going from Dium along the road to the mountain, and advancing twenty stades, you come to a pillar on the right surmounted by a stone urn, which according to the natives contains the bones of Orpheus. There is also a river called Helicon. After a course of seventy-five stades the stream hereupon disappears under the earth. After a gap of about twenty-two stades the water rises again, and under the name of Baphyra instead of Helicon flows into the sea as a navigable river. The people of Dium say that at first this river flowed on land throughout its course. But, they go on to say, the women who killed Orpheus wished to wash off in it the blood-stains, and thereat the river sank underground, so as not to lend its waters to cleanse manslaughter. In Larisa I heard another story, how that on Olympus is a city Libethra, where the mountain faces, Macedonia, not far from which city is the tomb of Orpheus. The Libethrians, it is said, received out of Thrace an oracle from Dionysus, stating that when the sun should see the bones of Orpheus, then the city of Libethra would be destroyed by a boar. The citizens paid little regard to the oracle, thinking that no other beast was big or mighty enough to take their city, while a boar was bold rather than powerful. But when it seemed good to the god the following events befell the citizens. About midday a shepherd was asleep leaning against the grave of Orpheus, and even as he slept he began to sing poetry of Orpheus in a loud and sweet voice. Those who were pasturing or tilling nearest to him left their several tasks and gathered together to hear the shepherd sing in his sleep. And jostling one another and striving who could get nearest the shepherd they overturned the pillar, the urn fell from it and broke, and the sun saw whatever was left of the bones of Orpheus. Immediately when night came the god sent heavy rain, and the river Sys (Boar ), one of the torrents about Olympus, on this occasion threw down the walls of Libethra, overturning sanctuaries of gods and houses of men, and drowning the inhabitants and all the animals in the city. When Libethra was now a city of ruin, the Macedonians in Dium, according to my friend of Larisa, carried the bones of Orpheus to their own country. Whoever has devoted himself to the study of poetry knows that the hymns of Orpheus are all very short, and that the total number of them is not great. The Lycomidae know them and chant them over the ritual of the mysteries. For poetic beauty they may be said to come next to the hymns of Homer, while they have been even more honored by the gods.

ΕΔΕΣΣΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΕΛΛΑ
The Macedonians say that Caranus, king of Macedonia, overcame in battle
Cisseus, a chieftain in a bordering country. For his victory Caranus set up a
trophy after the Argive fashion, but it is said to have been upset by a lion from
Olympus, which then vanished. Caranus, they assert, realized that it was a mistaken
policy to incur the undying hatred of the non-Greeks dwelling around, and so,
they say, the rule was adopted that no king of Macedonia, neither Caranus himself
nor any of his successors, should set up trophies, if they were ever to gain the
good-will of their neighbors. This story is confirmed by the fact that Alexander
set up no trophies, neither for his victory over Dareius nor for those he won
in India.

Here, too, is to be seen a canal, in the neighborhood of Acanthus, where Xerxes dug a canal across Athos, it is said, and, by admitting the sea into the canal, brought his fleet across from the Strymonic Gulf through the isthmus. Demetrius of Scepsis, however, does not believe that this canal was navigable, for, he says, although as far as ten stadia the ground is deep-soiled and can be dug, and in fact a canal one plethrum in width has been dug, yet after that it is a flat rock, almost a stadium in length, which is too high and broad to admit of being quarried out through the whole of the distance as far as the sea; but even if it were dug thus far, certainly it could not be dug deep enough to make a navigable passage; this, he adds, is where Alexarchus, the son of Antipater,163 laid the foundation of Uranopolis, with its circuit of thirty stadia.

When the Euboeans were returning from Troy, some of them, after being driven out of their course to Illyria, set out for home through Macedonia, but remained in the neighborhood of Edessa, after aiding in war those who had received them hospitably; and they founded a city Euboe.
ΗΜΑΘΙΑ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΕΛΛΑΔΑ
Ο Στράβων παραδίδει ότι παλαιότερα η Μακεδονία ονομαζόταν Ημαθία και ότι πήρε το όνομα του Μακεδόνα, ενός αρχαίου ηγεμόνα της. Αναφέρει ακόμα ότι υπήρχε και πόλη με το όνομα Ημαθία κοντά στη θάλασσα (Στράβ. 7ο βιβλ., 11ο απόσπ.)

ΟΛΥΝΘΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΧΑΛΚΙΔΙΚΗ
What is now called Macedonia was in earlier times called Emathia. And it took its present name from Macedon, one of its early chieftains. And there was also a city Emathia close to the sea. Now a part of this country was taken and held by certain of the Epeirotes and the Illyrians, but most of it by the Bottiaei and the Thracians. The Bottiaei came from Brete originally, so it is said, along with Botton as chieftain. As for the Thracians, the Pieres inhabited Pieria and the region about Olympus; the Paeones, the region on both sides of the Axius River, which on that account is called Amphaxitis; the Edoni and Bisaltae, the rest of the country as far as the Strymon. Of these two peoples the latter are called Bisaltae alone, whereas a part of the Edoni are called Mygdones, a part Edones, and a part Sithones. But of all these tribes the Argeadae, as they are called, established themselves as masters, and also the Chalcidians of Euboea; for the Chalcidians of Euboea also came over to the country of the Sithones and jointly peopled about thirty cities in it, although later on the majority of them were ejected and came together into one city, Olynthus; and they were named the Thracian Chalcidians.(Stabo 7.11)
Olynthus was seventy stadia distant from Potidaea.(Strabo 7.28)
The naval station of Olynthus is Macyperna, on the Toronaean Gulf.(Strabo 7.29)
Commentary: Argeadae = The name appears to have been derived from the Macedonian Argos, i.e., Argos Oresticum

ΟΥΡΑΝΟΥΠΟΛΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΓΙΟΝ ΟΡΟΣ
Ο Στράβων παραδίδει ότι η Ουρανούπολις ιδρύθηκε από τον Αλέξαρχο, το γιο του Αντίπατρου, εκεί όπου ο Ξέρξης είχε προσπαθήσει να ανοίξει διώρυγα στη χερσόνησο του Αθου (Στράβ. 7ο βιβλ., 35ο απόσπ.).
ΠΟΤΙΔΑΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΧΑΛΚΙΔΙΚΗ
After Thessaloniceia come the remaining parts of the Thermaean Gulf
as far as Canastraeum; this is a headland which forms a peninsula and rises opposite
to Magnetis. The name of the peninsula is Pallene; and it has an isthmus five
stadia in width, through which a canal is cut. On the isthmus is situated a city
founded by the Corinthians, which in earlier times was called Potidaea, although
later on it was called Cassandreia, after the same King Cassander, who restored
it after it had been destroyed. The distance by sea around this peninsula is five
hundred and seventy stadia. And further, writers say that in earlier times the
giants lived here and that the country was named Phlegra; the stories of some
are mythical, but the account of others is more plausible, for they tell of a
certain barbarous and impious tribe which occupied the place but was broken up
by Heracles when, after capturing Troy, be sailed back to his home-land. And here,
too, the Trojan women were guilty of their crime, it is said, when they set the
ships on fire in order that they might not be slaves to the wives of their captors
