e/Iasus, Caria

Information
has gloss	eng: Iasus or Iassus was a town of Caria, situated on a small island close to the north coast of the Iasian bay, which derives its name from Iasus. The town is said to have been founded at an unknown period by Argive colonists; but as they had sustained severe losses in a war with the native Carians, they invited the son of Neleus, who had previously founded Miletus, to come to their assistance. The town appears on that occasion to have received additional settlers. The town, which appears to have occupied the whole of the little island, had only ten stadia in circumference; but it nevertheless acquired great wealth , from its fisheries and trade in fish. After the Sicilian expedition of the Athenians, during the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), Iasus was attacked by the Spartans and their allies; it was governed at the time by Amorges, a Persian chief, who had revolted from Darius II.
