Cyzicos (2)Kyzikos

A peninsula which juts into the Propontis (Sea of Marmara) from the Phrygian mainland and a city on that peninsula.

Although not really an island, the peninsula of Kyzikos is often called Bear Island as well as Bear Mountain; a narrow isthmus connects the peninsula with the mainland and the city of Kyzikos is located on the isthmus.

Kyzikos was controlled by various factions of the Greeks until 387-6 BCE when the Persians took the town as part of the Peace of Antalkidas (Antalcidas).

The name may also be rendered as Kyzikus or Cyzicus.
