has gloss | eng: Apollonia (Greek: ) was an ancient town astride the Rhyndacus river. According to Strabo, it lay in Mysia , a description which misled some travellers and geographers, who fixed the site at Ulubat on the Rhyndacus. However, the site is actually modern Apolyont (or Abullionte). This site is on the lake now known as Apolyont Gölü or Ulubat Gölü. In ancient times this lake was called Apolloniatis (for instance by Strabo), after the town. |
