ΑΛΩΠΕΚΟΝΝΗΣΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Alopeconnesus (Alopekonnesos), a town on the western coast of the
Thracian Chersonesus. It was an Aeolian colony, and was believed to have derived
its name from the fact that the settlers were directed by an oracle to establish
the colony, where they should first meet a fox with its cub. (Steph. B. s.v.;
Scymnus, 29; Liv. xxxi. 16; Pomp. Mela, ii. 2.) In the time of the Macedonian
ascendancy, it was allied with, and under the protection of Athens. (Dem. de
Coron. p. 256, c. Aristocr. p. 675.)
