An island in the Aigean Sea, northwest of Troy.
During the Trojan War, Poseidon, lord of the sea, plunged his chariot into the sea midway between the islands of Imbros and Tenedos to tether his horses in a cave while he went to the Achaian encampment. The proximity of Imbros to Troy made it convenient for the Achaians to sell captured Trojans to Eetion, lord of Imbros.
