Aegospotami
Aegospotami (i.e.
Goat Streams) is a small river issuing into the
Hellespont, northeast of
Sestos. It was the scene of the decisive
battle in
405 BC by which
Lysander destroyed the
Athenian fleet in the
Peloponnesian War.
The township of that name, whose existence is attested by coins of the 5th and 4th centuries, must have been quite insignificant.
