Cius Location of Cius in Turkey 40°25′57″N 29°09′23″E / 40.432468°N 29.156389°E / 40.432468; 29.156389 Location Anatolia, in present-day Turkey Region Bithynia

**Cius** ([/ˈsaɪəs/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English); [Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Kίος or Κῖος *Kios*) was an [Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek) city bordering the Propontis (now known as the [Sea of Marmara](/source/Sea_of_Marmara)), in [Bithynia](/source/Ancient_Bithynia) and in [Mysia](/source/Ancient_Mysia) (in modern northwestern Turkey). The city was later renamed to **Prusias** after [King](/source/List_of_rulers_of_Bithynia) [Prusias I of Bithynia](/source/Prusias_I_of_Bithynia), who once restored the city.[1]

## Etymology

According to the Greek Geographer [Strabo](/source/Strabo) in his book *[Geographica](/source/Geographica)*, the eponym of the city is, according to a [founding myth](/source/Origin_myth), a companion of [Heracles](/source/Heracles) who is also the founder of the city.[1] Greek author [Apollonius of Rhodes](/source/Apollonius_of_Rhodes) provided another origin, in *[Argonautica](/source/Argonautica)*, that the city of Cius was named after a nearby river and was founded by the [Argonaut](/source/Argonauts) [Polyphemus](/source/Polyphemus_(Argonaut)).[2]

## History

Ancient Greek coin found in the site of what was once Cius.

During the [Ionian Revolt](/source/Ionian_Revolt) (499–493 BC), Cius was captured by the [Persians](/source/Achaemenid_Empire) under their general Hymaees on their [counter-offensive](/source/Ionian_Revolt#Persian_counter-offensive_(497–495_BC)) against the Ionians that had marched on the capital of the Persian [Satrapy of Lydia](/source/Lydia_(satrapy)), [Sardis](/source/Sardis), during the Ionian rebellion.[3] Later, Cius was a member of the [Delian League](/source/Delian_League).[4] Sometime during the [Cretan War](/source/Cretan_War_(205%E2%80%93200_BC)) (205–200 BC), [King](/source/List_of_kings_of_Macedonia) [Philip V of Macedon](/source/Philip_V_of_Macedon) put Cius, that was then a member of the [Aetolian League](/source/Aetolian_League), under siege. He then razed the city down and ceded it to King Prusias I of Bithynia, who assisted him in capturing Cius.[5] Prusias later restored it under the name **Prusias**.[1]

According to numismatist Katja I. L. Sommer, during the Roman rule, Cius issued a revert back from the name Prusias around the reign of [Emperor](/source/Roman_emperor) [Claudius](/source/Claudius) (r. 41–54) at the latest, possibly in order to gain autonomy, and was later renamed back to Prusias during the [Flavian period](/source/Flavian_dynasty).[6] It was an important chain in the ancient [Silk Road](/source/Silk_Road) and became known as a wealthy town.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Geography

Cius was strategically placed at the head of a gulf in the Propontis, called the Gulf of Cius, or *Cianus Sinus*. Historians Herodotus and Xenophon both reverred to it as **Cius in Mysia**.[3][7] Naturalist [Pliny the Elder](/source/Pliny_the_Elder) reports that Cius was a [Milesian](/source/Miletus) colony.[8] It was at the foot of [Mount Arganthonius](/source/Mount_Arganthonius), which Strabo claimed as the place where [Hylas](/source/Hylas) was kidnapped by the [Nymphs](/source/Nymph) in a myth.[1] Pliny mentioned the rivers Hylas and Cius here, one of which reminds us of the name of the youth who was stolen by the nymphs, and the other of the mythical founder.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The Cius may be the channel by which the lake Ascania (currently known as [Lake Iznik](/source/Lake_%C4%B0znik)) discharges its waters into the gulf of Cius; though Pliny speaks of the *Ascanium flumen* as flowing into the gulf, and we must assume that he gives this name to the channel which connects the lake and the sea. If the river Cius is not identical with this channel, it must be a small stream near Cius. As [Ptolemy](/source/Ptolemy) speaks of the outlets of the Ascanius,[9] it has been conjectured that there may have been two, and that they may be the Hylas and Cius of Pliny; but the plural ἐκβολαί does not necessarily mean more than a single mouth; and Pliny certainly says that the Ascanius flows into the gulf. However, his geography is a constant cause of difficulty. The position of Cius made it the port for the inland parts, and it became a place of much commercial importance. [Pomponius Mela](/source/Pomponius_Mela) calls it the most convenient emporium of [Phrygia](/source/Ancient_Phrygia), which was at no great distance from it.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Coins

There are coins of Cius, with the legend Κιανων, belonging to the Roman imperial period; and there are coins of Prusias with the epigraph, "Προυσιεων των προς θαλασσαν".

## Ecclesiastical History

Cius became an early Christian [bishopric](/source/Bishopric). Its bishop, Cyrillus, took part in the [First Council of Nicaea](/source/First_Council_of_Nicaea) in 325, and Theosebius attended the [Council of Ephesus](/source/Council_of_Ephesus). The names of many of his successors in the first millennium are known from extant contemporary documents. At first a [suffragan](/source/Suffragan) of [Nicomedia](/source/Nicomedia), it soon became an autocephalous [archdiocese](/source/Archdiocese), being listed as such in *[Notitiae Episcopatuum](/source/Notitiae_Episcopatuum)* from the 7th century onward.[10][11][12] No longer a residential bishopric, Cius is today listed by the [Catholic Church](/source/Catholic_Church) as a [titular see](/source/Titular_see).[13]

Following the [population exchange](/source/Population_exchange_between_Greece_and_Turkey) in 1923, the [Greek](/source/Greeks) refugees from Cius established the town of [Nea Kios](/source/Nea_Kios), in [Argolis](/source/Argolis), [Greece](/source/Greece) and the village of [Paralia](/source/Paralia%2C_Pieria), in [Pieria](/source/Pieria_(regional_unit)), [Greece](/source/Greece). There are only few remnants of the ancient town and its harbour today. Somewhat more to the west, the town of [Gemlik, Bursa Province](/source/Gemlik) is enstablished.
