ΑΝΤΑΝΔΡΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Antandrus (Antandros: Eth. Antandrios: Antandro), a city on the coast
of Troas, near the head of the gulf of Adramyttium, on the N. side, and W. of
Adramyttium. According to Aristotle (Steph. B. s. v. Antandros), its original
name was Edonis, and it was inhabited by a Thracian tribe of Edoni, and he adds
or Cimmeris, from the Cimmerii inhabiting it 100 years. Pliny (v. 30) appears
to have copied Aristotle also. It seems, then, that there was a tradition about
the Cimmerii having seized the place in their incursion into Asia, of which tradition
Herodotus speaks (i. 6). Herodotus (vii. 42) gives to it the name Pelasgis. Again,
Alcaeus (Strab. p. 606) calls it a city of the Leleges. From these vague statements
we may conclude that it was a very old town; and its advantageous position at
the foot of Aspaneus, a mountain belonging to Ida, where timber was cut, made
it a desirable possession. Virgil makes Aeneas build his fleet here (Aen. iii.
5). The tradition as to its being settled from Andros (Mela, i. 18) seems merely
founded on a ridiculous attempt to explain the name. It was finally an Aeolian
settlement (Thuc. viii. 108), a fact which is historical.
Antandros was taken by the Persians (Herod. v. 26) shortly after the
Scythian expedition of Darius. In the eighth year of the Peloponnesian war it
was betrayed by some Mytilenaeans and others, exiles from Lesbos, being at that
time under the supremacy of Athens; but the Athenians soon recovered it. (Thuc.
iv. 52, 75.) The Persians got it again during the Peloponnesian war; but the townspeople,
fearing the treachery of Arsaces, who commanded the garrison there for Tissaphernes,
drove the Persians out of the acropolis, B.C. 411. (Thuc. viii. 108.) The Persians,
however, did not lose the place. (Xen. Hell. i. 1. 25)

the Hellespontine province. (Hierocl.; Sestini)
