Mysia

Ancient district of northwestern Asia Minor containing the Bronze-Age city of Troy.

The principal towns of Mysia were Pergamum, Lampsacus, Abydos, and Assos. In the 6th century BC Mysia was subject to the Lydian empire of Croesus, and then became subject to Persia, then to Alexander the Great, and then to the Seleucids. It became part of the kingdom of Pergamum 190 BC and was included, with the rest of Pergamum, in the Roman province of Asia 133 BC.

Everything irrational should, if possible, be excluded; or, at all events, it should lie outside the action of the play (as, in the Oedipus, the hero's ignorance as to the manner of Laius' death); not within the drama,--as in the Electra, the messenger's account of the Pythian games; or, as in the Mysians, the man who has come from Tegea to Mysia and is still speechless.

As they put out from Mysia a storm comes on them and scatters them, and Achilles first puts in at Scyros and married Deidameia, the daughter of Lycomedes, and then heals Telephus, who had been led by an oracle to go to Argos, so that he might be their guide on the voyage to Ilium.
