(Redirected from Mt. Mycale)
'Mycale' (also 'Mycǎlé', 'Mukalê', 'Mykale' and 'Mycali'; called 'Samsun Daği' in modern Turkey) is a mountain on the west coast of central Anatolia in Turkey, north of the mouth of the Maeander and opposite the island of Samos.[1] It forms a ridge, terminating in the Trogilium promontory.
On the north side of the mountain, near the ancient Ionian city of Priene was located, from circa 800 BC, the Panionium,[2] a sanctuary and of Poseidon Heliconius, the meeting place of the Ionian League, and the site of the religious festival and games (''panegyris'') called the Panionia.[3]
In 479 BC, Mycale was the site of one of the two major battles that ended the Persian invasion of Greece, during the Greco-Persian Wars (see battle of Mycale). Under the leadership of the Spartan Leotychides, the Greek fleet defeated the Persian fleet and army.[4] According to Herodotus, the battle occurred the same day as the Greek victory at Plataea.[5]
