Editor's Note
Zeleia was a town of the ancient Troad at the foot of Mount Ida, on the banks of the river Aesepus (Gönen Çayı), at the site of modern Sarıköy in the Gönen district of Balıkesir. Mentioned by Homer in the Iliad as a holy town that sent warriors led by Pandarus to aid Troy, little of it survives today.
