Antioch on the Maeander (
Greek: Αντιόχεια του Μαίανδρου;
Latin: Antiochia ad Mæandrum), earlier
Pythopolis, was a city of ancient
Caria, in
Anatolia. The city was situated between the
Maeander and
Orsinus rivers near their confluence and, though it was the site of a bridge over the Maeander had "little or no individual history" (ref. princeton) The scanty ruins are located on a hill (named, in
Turkish, Jeni-Sher or Yenişer) a few
km southeast of
Kuyucak,
Aydin Province,
Turkey, near the modern city of Başaran. The city already existed when
Antiochus I enlarged and renamed it. It was home to the
sophist Diotrephis.
