Mount Ida (Troad)
It is located in the Troad region, near the modern town of Edremit, and close to the ancient city of Troy.
According to the myth, the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite asked Paris, a prince of Troy, to judge which of them was the fairest.
Mount Ida's proximity to the ancient city of Troy (Ilion) further enhances its historical significance.
Troy, a major city in the ancient world, is best known as the setting of the Trojan War, immortalized in Homer’s epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Mount Ida also plays a role in the story of Aeneas, the Trojan hero who, according to Roman mythology, escaped the destruction of Troy and eventually founded the city of Rome.
Aeneas is said to have fled to Mount Ida after the fall of Troy, where he gathered his followers before embarking on his journey to Italy.
This connection to Aeneas further emphasizes the mountain’s importance in the mythological narratives that link Troy with the origins of Rome.
