The Sea Walls of the Marmara (historic Propontis) Sea once defended the southern coast of Byzantine Constantinople (and later Ottoman Kostantiniyye). It was approximately 8.5 kilometers, with around 36 gates and 103 towers.

Took a gander at Mars too
Telescopic view, Mars is centred on a black background appearing as a large disc. The north pole is bright white, surrounded by a dark area (Mare Boreum). The north east limb of the disk also appears hazy with a dark area jutting out (Propontis). The main face of the planet is rather featureless consisting of a blank orangey area which is Amazonis Planitia, Arcadia Planitia and surrounding regions. The southern cap appears to also have a slight white-ish haze too. North of the south pole haze is a long dark wavy horizontal area - Mare Sirenum. Same as the previous image, but with labels pointing to the features mentioned in that alt text

#Heracles or #Hercules lost a man on a voyage, but it was cool because #nymphs stole him and then there was a city named after him. I'm paraphrasing here..

40.404,29.118 Gemlik was the site of the ancient Greek city of Cius (/'saiəs/; Greek: Kioç or Kĩoç Kios), later renamed Prusias on the Sea (/'pru:zəs/; Latin: Prusias ad Mare) after king Prusias I of Bithynia, was an ancient Greek city bordering the Propontis (now known as the Sea of Marmara), in Bithynia and formerly in Mysia (in modern northwestern Turkey), and had a long history, being mentioned by Herodotus, Xenophon, Aristotle, Strabo and Apollonius Rhodius. It was strategically placed at the head of a qulf in the Propontis, called the qulf of Cius, or Cianus Sinus. Herodotus calls it Cius of Mysia; and also Xenophon, from which it appears that Mysia, even in Xenophon's time, extended at least as far (Closest History: Gemlik, ~2.79 miles; found via undefined-mile search) Verify on Wikipedia: Gemlik Plant a tree by exploring more

It is alive because it is entangled
The Kernel and the Ark
I. The Wall and the Infinite It is possible that the history of the modern West hinges on a single, melancholic misreading of Voltaire. When Candide, exhausted by the Lisbon earthquake and the brutalities of the Seven Years’ War, finally withdraws to the banks of the Propontis to utter his famous dictum—“Il faut cultiver notre jardin”—he is not proposing a program of agricultural management.

I'll be honest, unless he's going to be *launching snake attacks* onto the decks of enemy ships in the Propontis, and then taking poison, I daresay he's a more than a tad too old...

Or be Massinissa as king, and tell the whole story in flashbacks?

Now, in this history of his, Procopius mentions that, during the term of his prefecture at Constantinople, a great sea-monster was captured in the neighboring Propontis, or Sea of Marmora, after having destroyed vessels at intervals in those waters for a period of more than fifty years.

Now, as a vessel of war readily passes through the Dardanelles, hence a sperm whale could, by the same route, pass out of the Mediterranean into the Propontis.

In the Propontis, as far as I can learn, none of that peculiar substance called brit is to be found, the aliment of the right whale.

It was asserted, and believed, that all the noble families of Rome, the senate, and the equestrian order, with their innumerable attendants, had followed their emperor to the banks of the Propontis; ...In the course of this history, such exaggerations will be reduced to their just value.
