[PAR] [TLE] Myrkinos [SEP] Myrkinos (Ancient Greek: Μύρκινος ) was an ancient Greek city located in Macedonian Thrace, in the region of Edonis between the Strymon and the Nestos Rivers.  It was within the territory of the Edonians, a Thracian tribe, and was founded as a polis by colonists from Miletus in 497 BC.  The colonists were led by Histiaios (already a Tyrant of Miletus), whom Darius had allowed to build a city in reward for his help.  Myrkinos joined Brasidas after he captured Amphipolis, Oisyme and Galepsus in 422 BC.  During the Byzantine empire it was known as Ancient Greek: Δοξόμπος or Δοξόμπους. [PAR] [TLE] Miletus [SEP] Miletus ( ; Ancient Greek: Μί̄λητος  "Mīlētos" ; Hittite transcription "Millawanda" or "Milawata" (exonyms); Latin: "Miletus" ; Turkish: "Milet" ) was an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia, near the mouth of the Maeander River in ancient Caria.  Its ruins are located near the modern village of Balat in Aydın Province, Turkey.  Before the Persian invasion in the middle of the 6th century BC, Miletus was considered the greatest and wealthiest of Greek cities.  In other sources however it is mentioned that the city was much more modest up until the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), when, for example, the city state of Samos on the island of Samos opposite Miletus was considered a larger and more important city and harbor.  Miletus' greatest wealth and splendor was reached during the Hellenistic era (323–30 BC) and later Roman times.
