An ancient Greek city in Caria on the southwest coast of Asia Minor. Now Bodrum, Turkey. It was probably founded around 900 BC by the Trozens of the Peloponnese. According to the historian Herodotus, it was a Doric city, but its culture in the classical period was Ionian. During the Persian Wars, it was in the sphere of influence of the Achaemenid Empire, but Mausolus, the governor of Caria, made it his capital around 370 BC and built a port and public buildings. After his death, the Mausoleion, a tomb for him, was built and is counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is also famous as the birthplace of Herodotus.

小アジア南西岸,カリアにあった古代ギリシアの都市。現トルコのボドルム。おそらく前 900年頃ペロポネソス半島のトロイゼン人によって建設された。歴史家ヘロドトスによればドーリス系都市であったらしいが,古典期のその文化はイオニア系であった。ペルシア戦争の時代にはアケメネス朝ペルシアの勢力圏にあったが,カリアの地方総督マウソロスが前 370年頃ここを首都とし,港や公共建造物を建設し,彼の死後墓廟マウソレイオンが建てられ,古代世界の七不思議の一つに数えられた。また,ヘロドトスの生地としても有名である。
