PE´DASUS
PE´DASUS (
Πήδασος), a small town of Mysia, on the river Satnioeis, which is mentioned by Homer (
Hom. Il. 6.35,
20.92,
21.87), but was deserted in the time of Strabo (
xiii. p.605), who (p. 584) mentions it among the towns of the Leleges, which were destroyed by Achilles. (Comp.
Steph. B. sub voce Πήδασα. Pliny (
5.32) imagines that Pedasus was the same place as that which subsequently bore the name of Adramyttium; but as Homer distinctly places it on
[p. 2.560]the river Satnioeis, the supposition is impossible
