About

Harpagion (Ancient Greek: Ἁρπάγιον) was a town of the ancient Troad, or of Mysia mentioned by Thucydides. Its territory was called Harpageia (τὰ Ἁρπαγεῖα) or Harpagia (Ἁρπάγια). It lay between Priapus and Cyzicus, near the mouth of the river Granicus. It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in tribute records of Athens between the years 448/7 and 429/8 BCE.
