ANTANDRUS ( Ἄντανδρος, ὁ)

A city on the Gulf of ADRAMYTTIUM in the southern Troad below Mt. IDA (BA 56 D2). Herodotus mentions Antandrus in passing twice: as one of the CITIES subdued by the Persian general OTANES (2) c. 510 BCE (5.26), and along the route of XERXES’ invasion in 480 (7.42.1). In the latter passage Herodotus calls the city “Pelasgian,” while THUCYDIDES (8.108.4) makes the inhabitants AEOLIANS. Other sources assign Antrandrus’ origins to various non‐Greek peoples, including the LELEGES (Alcaeus F337 Campbell), the EDONIAN Thracians or CIMMERIANS (Aristotle F478 Rose), and the CILICIANS (Demetrius of Scepsis: Strabo 13.1.51/C606). The city was brought into the ATHENIAN EMPIRE in the 420s after the Mytilenean Revolt (Thuc. 4.52.3). It was later occupied by a Persian garrison, which was driven out in 411 (Thuc. 8.108); two years later, the Antandrians were building ships for the fleet which the Persian satrap Pharnabazus supplied to the Spartans (Xen. Hell. 1.1.25–26).
