561 BCE to 550 BCE

Greek colonies on the Aegean coast of Thrace include Aenus near Alexandroúpolis.

Formerly called Poltyobria (or Poltymbria), it is located near the mouth of the Hebrus River, not far from the Melas Gulf (modern Gulf of Saros), which is formed by the Thracian Chersonesus to the east.

The city was said to be founded (or at least settled) by Aeolian migrants from Lesbos.
