ΖΕΛΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΡΩΑΣ
A town of Troas, at the foot of Mount Ida and on the banks of the
river Aesepus, at a distance of 80 stadia from its mouth. It is mentioned by Homer
(Il. ii. 824, iii. 103), who calls it a holy town. (Comp. Strab. xii. p. 565,
xiii. pp. 585, 587, 603; Steph. B. s. v.) Arrian (Anab. i. 13) mentions it as
the head-quarters of the Persian army before the battle of the Granicus: it existed
in the time of Strabo; but afterwards it disappears. Some travellers have identified
it with the modern Biga, between Bozaegee and Sorricui.
An ancient city of Mysia, at the foot of Mount Ida, and on the river Aesopus, eighty stadia from its mouth, belonging to the territory of Cyzicus. It was the headquarters of the Persian army at the time of Alexander's invasion.
