MYUS (anc. geog.), one of the twelve towns of Ionia; seated on the Meander, at the distance of 30 stadia from the sea. In Strabo's time it was incorporated with the Milefians, on account of the paucity of its inhabitants, from its being formerly overwhelmed with water; for which reason the Ionians assigned its suffrage and religious ceremonies to the people of Miletus. Artaxerxes allotted this town to Themilocus, in order to furnish his table with meat: Magnesia was to support him in bread, and Lampascus in wine. The town now lies in ruins.
