In Greek mythology, the Argonauts, who set out from Greece to get the golden fleece from Georgia (Colchis), stopped by Dolionia (Cyzicus) on the way. King Cyzicus welcomes the Argons well. He feeds them, gives them drink and sends them off with plenty of provisions. The Argonauts who set out are caught in a storm that night and go ashore. The Argonauts, who did not realize that they had landed in Dolonia lands again in the dark of night, thought that King Cyzicus and his companions were enemies and fought. However, in this battle, King Kyzikos died and with his death, the city took the name Kyzikos.
