// Lebedos Is A Very Interested Polys On Ancient History. According To Pausanias, The Town Was Inhabited By Carians When The Ionian Greeks Immigrated There Under The Guidance Of Andraemon, A Son Of Codrus. Strabo, However, States That It Was Colonized By Andropompus And That It Previously Bore The Name Of Artis In Lydia. Velleius Paterculus Wrote That Greeks From Athens Established The City As Well As Other Cities In Ionia. Lebedos Became A Flourishing City Thanks To Its Commerce, And Was Famous For Its Mineral Springs, But It Was One Of The Smaller Cities Of The Ionian League, Handicapped By The Limited Space Of Its Hinterland And A Comparatively Unsuitable Port.
