ΜΥΡΚΙΝΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΣΕΡΡΕΣ
Murkinos, Murkinnos, Eth. Murkinios. A place belonging to the Edoni,
on the left bank of the Strymon, which was selected by Histiaeus of Miletus for
his settlement. It offered great advantages to settlers, as it contained an abundant
supply of timber for shipbuilding, as well as silver mines. (Herod. vii. 23.)
Aristagoras retired to this place, and, soon after landing, perished before some
Thracian town which he was besieging. (Herod v. 126; Thuc. iv. 102.) Afterwards,
it had fallen into the hands of the Edoni; but on the murder of Pittacus, chief
of that people, it surrendered to Brasidas. (Thuc. iv. 107.) The position of Myrcinus
was in the interior, to the N. of M. Pangaeus, not far from Amphipolis. (Leake,
North. Greece, vol. iii. p. 181.)
