AMPELUS (ἡ Ἄμπελος ἄκρη)

CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

The promontory at the tip of SITHONIA, the central peninsula of the three extending south from Chalcidice in northern Greece (BA 51 B5; Müller I, 143–44). Herodotus mentions Ampelus as he traces the route taken by XERXES’ fleet after it passed through the ATHOS canal in 480 BCE (7.122). It was probably in the territory of TORONE. The noun ampelos in Greek means “grapevine.”
