Editor's Note
Salmydessus was a town on the Black Sea coast of ancient Thrace, about 97 km northwest of the entrance to the Bosporus, near present-day Kıyıköy. Herodotus records that it surrendered to Darius without a fight, while Xenophon and the Ten Thousand describe its shoal-filled, dangerous coast where wrecked ships were plundered by local Thracian tribes. Aeschylus called it "a rugged jaw, evil host of mariners, step-mother of ships."
