Teuthrania

An ancient city in Asia Minor in the district of Mysia; located approximately 16 miles (26 kilometers) inland on the Kaikos (Caicus) river.

When the Greeks sailed from the island of Aulis to capture Troy, the fleet became lost and they attacked the city of Teuthrania instead of Troy; they sacked the city and then returned to Aulis to prepare for another attempt at finding Troy.

During the battle for Teuthrania, a captive was taken named Telephus; Akhilleus (Achilles) wounded and healed Telephus and, doing the will of an oracle, Telephus became the Greek’s guide so that they could find Troy.

Two generations later, the name of the city was changed to Pergamum by Pergamus, a grandson of Akhilleus (Achilles), after he captured the city; now known as Bergama, in western Turkey; the Kaikos river is now called the Bakir.
