ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚA ΙΩΝΙΑ ΤEΩΣ | Greek Ionia Teos
Teos [ΤEΩΣ] was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, on a peninsula between Chytrium and Myonnesus. It was founded by Minyans from Orchomenus, Ionians and Boeotians. Teos was one of the twelve cities which formed the Ionian League. The city was situated on a low hilly isthmus. Its ruins are located to the south of the modern town of Sığacık in the Seferihisar district of Izmir Province, Turkey.
A member city of the Ionian Dodekapolis, Teos was a thriving seaport with two fine harbors. It was the birthplace of Anacreon the poet, Hecateos the historian, Protagoras the sophist, Scythinus the poet, Andron the geographer, and Apellikon, the preserver of the works of Aristotle.
When the Persians under Cyrus invaded circa 540 BC, many Teans fled, resettling in Abdera [ABΔHPITΩN]. The griffin was the badge of the city of Teos, and is present on the coins of both cities.
