An area near the Hellespont.1
During the Trojan War, Asios commanded an undisclosed number of Trojan soldiers from Abydos (Abydus), Arisbe, Perkote (Percote), Sestos (Sestus), and the vicinity of the Selleeis (Selleïs) and Praktion Rivers. Trojan King Priam's kingdom included the territories of the Hellespont. Inhabitants living near the Praktion River were considered to be Trojans.
1. Hellespont (Helle's Sea)—now associated with the Dardanelles, the narrow body of water separating Europe and Asia. The Hellespont of antiquity was undoubtably much larger and probably included the Propontis and a large portion of the northern Aigean (Aegean) Sea.
