"Chytron" redirects here. For the town and Orthodox bishopric of Cyprus, see Chytron (Cyprus).
Chytrium or Chytrion (Χυτριόν),[1] or Chytrum or Chytron (Χυτρόν),[2] also known as Chytum or Chyton (Χυτόν)[3] was a town of ancient Ionia. Strabo tells us that it was here that the city of Clazomenae was initially founded.[1]
Its site is located southwest of Urla, İzmir Province, Turkey.[4][5]
