Gordus (Troad)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gordus or Gordos (Ancient Greek: Γόρδος) was a town located on the Rhodius River in the ancient Troad mentioned by Strabo.[1]

Its site is unlocated, but probably located between the Karamenderes River (the ancient Scamander) and the Çan Çayı (the ancient Granicus).[2]
