A city in the northwestern Nile DELTA of EGYPT near the mouth of the Canobic branch (BA 74 C2). Archandropolis lay on the route taken by ships sailing to NAUCRATIS. Herodotus remarks on the non‐Egyptian nature of the city’s name and suggests that it may derive from the legendary Greek hero ARCHANDER, who had a connection with Egypt via DANAUS (2.97.2–98.1).
