ΜΥΚΑΛΗ (Ακρωτήρι) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Mycale (Mukale), the westernmost branch of Mt. Mesogis in Lydia; it
forms a high ridge and terminates in a promontory called Trogylium, now cape S.
Maria. It runs out into the sea just opposite the island of Samos, from which
it is separated only by a narrow channel seven stadia in breadth. It was in this
channel, and on the mainland at the foot of Mount Mycale, that the Persians were
defeated, in B.C. 479. It is probable that at the foot of Mount Mycale there was
a town called Mycale or Mycallessus, for Stephanus Byz. (s. v.) and Scylax (p.
37) speak of a town of Mycale in Caria or Lydia. The whole range of Mount Mycale
now bears the name of Samsum. (Hom. Il. ii. 869; Herod. i. 148, vii. 80, ix. 96;

Promontory on the Ionian coast between Ephesus
and Miletus, facing the island
of Samos.
Mycale was also the name of a summit on that promontory, on which
a confederacy of twelve Ionian cities founded in Asia
Minor by Ionians coming from Attica
and what later became Achaia
in northern Peloponnese, collectively
called the Paniones (etymologically, “all the Ionians pan Iones”),
had erected a sanctuary to Poseidon called the Panionion
where they celebrated a yearly festival called Panionia.
The twelve cities of the Ionian confederacy included, from south to
north, the Carian cities of Miletus
(the leading city of Ionia),
Myous and Priene,
the Lydian cities of Ephesus,
Colophon, Lebedus,
Teos, Clazomenae
and Phocaea, plus Samos
and Chios on the islands
of the same names, and Erythraeus
on the mainland facing Chios.
Cape Mycale was, in 479, the site of a naval victory of a Greek fleet
over a Persian fleet, which, after the victories of Salamis
and Plataea, marked the end
of the first phase of the second Persian War and of Persian incursions on Greek
mainand.
