Amasis became a philhellene, and besides other services which he did

to live in; and to those who travelled to the country without wanting to settle
there, he gave lands where they might set up altars and make holy places for their
gods. Of these the greatest and most famous and most visited precinct is that
which is called the Hellenion, founded jointly by the Ionian cities of Chios,

and Phaselis, and one Aeolian city, Mytilene.
