GIGONOS (Ancient city) HALKIDIKI
Gigonis Prom (Gigonis akra, Etym. Mag. s. v. Egonis, Ptol. iii. 13.
§ 23), a promontory on the coast of the Crossaea, in Macedonia, with a town Gigonus
(Gigonos, Steph. B.), to which the Athenian force, which had been employed against
Perdiccas, marched in three days from Beraea. (Thuc. i. 61.) It appears, from
the order of the names in Herodotus (vii. 123), that it was to the S. of Cape
Aeneium, the great Karaburnu; hence its situation was nearly that of Cape Apanomi.
