Pedasus or Pedasos (Ancient Greek: Πήδασος), also known as Pedasa (Πήδασα),[1] was a small town of ancient Mysia, on the river Satnioeis.
It is mentioned by Homer in the Iliad,[2] but was deserted in the time of Strabo.
[3] Strabo (p. 584) mentions it among the towns of the Leleges, which were destroyed by Achilles.
[4] Pliny the Elder imagines that Pedasus was the same place as that which subsequently bore the name of Adramyttium; but as Homer distinctly places it on the river Satnioeis, the supposition is impossible.
He struggled to capture it however and was about to give up when a maiden of Monenia sent him a message on an apple, encouraging him to keep trying because the city was suffering due to water shortage.
