Athenae or Athenai (Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι) was a city and port of ancient Pontus,[1] with a Greek temple of Athena.
[3] Procopius writes that the name of the village came from a certain woman named Athenaea (Ancient Greek: Ἀθηναία) in early times who ruled over the land and not because, as some believe, of colonists from Athens settled there.
[5] Konrad Mannert assumes it to be the same place as the Odeinius of the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax.
[6] Its site is located near the modern town of Pazar, in Turkey.
