GIGO´NIS PROM
GIGO´NIS PROM (
Γίγωνις ἄκρα, Etym. Mag. s. v.
Ἠγωνίς,
Ptol. 3.13.23), a promontory on the coast of the Crossaea, in Macedonia, with a town
GIGONUS (
Γίγωνος, Steph. B. sub voce to which the Athenian force, which had been employed against Perdiccas, marched in three days from Beraea. (
Thuc. 1.61.)
It appears, from the order of the names in Herodotus (
7.123), that it was to the S. of Cape Aeneium, the great
Karaburnú; hence its situation
[p. 1.1002]was nearly that of Cape
Apanomí. (Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 452.)
