City on the THERMAIC GULF in the region of Chalcidice, probably the modern Nea Michaniona (BA 50 C4). XERXES’ fleet picks up troops from Aeneia and other CITIES in the region after it passes through the ATHOS canal in 480 BCE (7.123.2). Aeneia claimed to have been founded by Aeneas after he fled TROY (Dion. Hal. Ant. Rom. 1.47.6); the hero appears on sixth‐century coins, carrying his father Anchises on his shoulders. The city became a member of the DELIAN LEAGUE.
