Wikipedia Description

Achilleion (Ancient Greek: Ἀχίλλειον, romanized: Achilleion; Latin: Achilleum) was an ancient Greek city in the south-west of the Troad region of Anatolia.[1] It has been located on a promontory known as Beşika Burnu ('cradle promontory') about 8 km south of Sigeion.[2] Beşika Burnu is 2 km south of the modern village of Yeniköy in the Ezine district of Çanakkale Province, Turkey.[3] The site considered in classical antiquity to be the tomb of Achilles is a short distance inland at a tumulus known as Beşiktepe.[4] Achilleion in the Troad is not to be confused with Achilleion near Smyrna and Achilleion in the territory of Tanagra.[5] A tumulus that was traditionally considered to be that of Achilles: from Heinrich Schliemann, "Troy and its remains," (1875), opp. p. 178.
