Town of ancient Ionia
Polichne (
Sicily, Clazomenae revolted with Chios and Erythrae against their Athenian overlords. The Clazomenii at the same time began to fortify Polichne on the main as a place of refuge, if it should be necessary. The Athenians took Polichne, and removed the people back to Clazomenae, except those who had been most active in the revolt; and they went off to a place called Daphnus.[1]
Its site is tentatively located near the modern Urla Iskelesi, İzmir Province, Turkey.[2][3]
