Paesus or Paisos (Hittite: Apaššawa, Ancient Greek: Παισός), in the Trojan Battle Order in Homer's Iliad called Apaesus or Apaisos (Ἀπαισός),[1] was a town and polis (city-state)[2] on the coast of the ancient Troad, at the entrance of the Propontis, between Lampsacus and Parium. The city of Apaššawa from the Hittite documents is identified as Paesus.[3] In the Iliad, Amphius, son of Selagus, was said to be from Paesus.[4] At one period, it received colonists from Miletus. It suffered Persian occupation during the Ionian Revolt.[5] In Strabo's time, the town was destroyed, and its inhabitants had transferred themselves to Lampsacus, which was likewise a Milesian colony.[6] The town derived its name from the small river Paesus, on which it was situated. It was a member of the Delian League and appears in tribute lists of Athens between 453/2 and 430/29 BCE.[2]
Its site is located 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of Çardak, Asiatic Turkey.[7][8]
