Aesyme
Aesyme or Aisyme (Ancient Greek: Αίσύμη) is a town named by Homer in the Iliad as the place of origin of Castianeira, mother of Gorgythion, who was fathered by Priam, king of Troy.[1] Stephanus of Byzantium identifies it as the same place as Oesyme, a Thasian colony in Pieris in ancient Thrace.[2]
