ASCANIA (Ancient area) MYSIA
Strabo suggests that Homer refers to two different Ascanias: one in Phrygia (Il. 2.863) and another one in Mysia (Il. 13.793), near the posterior city of Nicaea, that both were allies of the Trojans in the War of Troy. The name of their leaders was Ascanius and the geographer says that this synonimity is not remarkable because Homer often used to use synomyms and names of persons after rivers, lakes and places (see Strab. 12,4,5 & 14,5,29).
