Sakarya River

The Sakarya is the third longest river in Turkey. It runs through the region known in ancient times as Phrygia. It was considered one of the principal rivers of Asia Minor in classical antiquity, and is mentioned in the Iliad and in Theogony. Its name appears in different forms as Sagraphos, Sangaris, or Sagaris.
In Geographica, Strabo wrote that during classical antiquity, the river had its sources on Mount Adoreus, near the town of Sangia in Phrygia, not far from the Galatian frontier, and flowed in a very tortuous course, first in an eastern, then in a northern, then in a northwestern, and lastly again in a northern direction through Bithynia into the Euxine . In one part of its course it formed the boundary between Phrygia and Bithynia; and in early times Bithynia was bounded on the east by the river. The Bithynian part of the river was navigable, and was celebrated for the abundance of fish found in it. Its principal tributaries were the Alander, Bathys, Thymbres, and Gallus.
