Trojan War

Alybe was a city in Pontus, from where the Greeks were supplied with silver (Il. 2.857). The inhabitants were called Halizones, which means "surrounded by sea". Strabo (12,3,19-20 & 14,5,22-4) considers that Alybe is the most ancient name of the country of the Chalybes (later Chaldaeoi), from where the Greeks were provided with metals at first.
