#troad

Percote: this small city was located on the Anatolian coast of the Hellespont, to the north-east of Troy, and it receives more than one mention in Greek mythology, but never plays a major role.

Larissa (Troad): the city of Larissa was a Pelasgian settlement which provided spearmen to Troy in the Trojan War, with the name being a common one for Pelasgian towns or cities and this particular example probably being founded by wandering tribesmen who settled in different parts of the Anatolian coast.

Zeleia: this city was located at the foot of Mount Ida in the south-eastern corner of the Troad (today known as Mount Kaz, which occupies a broad geographic base between Canakkale and Balikesir, part national park and part collection of rustic villages).

Lyrnessos (Troad): the Cilician city of Lyrnessos was located in the Troad, to the south-east of Mount Ida - according to legend, Achilles of Phthia made a great foray to the south of Mount Ida where he attacked twenty-four cities, including Lyrnessos.

Kolonae (Troad): along with the rest of the Troad, the city of Kolonae was a Trojan ally during the war against the Mycenaeans, with the name probably stemming from 'col' or 'calach' for an eminence or fortress.

#Hyrtacidae: #Wilusa in the thirteenth century BC was a member of the #Assuwa, a confederacy of local minor states which probably included the #Troad and was traditionally allied to the #Hittites, with the Hyrtacidae being one such group.
