Smintheion (or Smintheum) was a town in the ancient Troad, near Chryse, containing a noted sanctuary of Apollo mentioned by Homer. The sanctuary was dedicated to Apollo Smintheus, a byname associated with mice and rats; here Apollo was worshipped as protector against a plague of mice that once gripped the region.
