Dios Hieron (
Chians, after revolting against the Athenians, equipped several ships with the intention of encouraging other cities to revolt. They were in Annaea and then in Dios Hieron, where they met the Athenian ships that were under the command of Diomedon. The Chian ships fled from there to Ephesus and Teos.[2] Pliny the Elder says that in his time, the people of Dios Hieron came to Ephesus to settle their legal affairs.[4]
Its site is located near Kurukemer, İzmir Province, Turkey.[5][6]
