Search Results - Aegean Sea

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The Aegean Sea (Greek ???a?? ???a???, Egeo Pelagos [e'?eo 'pela?os](Speaker Icon.svg listen); Turkish Ege Denizi ) is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the southern Balkan and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey respectively. In the north, it is connected to the Marmara Sea and Black Sea by the Dardanelles and Bosporus. The Aegean Islands are within the sea and some bound it on its southern periphery, including Crete and Rhodes. The Aegean Region consists of nine provinces in southwestern Turkey, in part bordering on the Aegean sea.

The sea was traditionally known as Archipelago (in Greek, ????p??a???), the general sense of which has since changed to refer to the Aegean Islands and, generally, to any island group because the Aegean Sea is remarkable for its large number of islands.

In ancient times there were various explanations for the name Aegean. It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or after Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the "sea goat", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.

A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word a??e?aiges = "waves" (Hesychius of Alexandria; metaphorical use of a?? (aix) "goat"), hence "wavy sea", cf. also a???a??? (aigialos) "coast".
