Helenopolis (Lydia)
Helenopolis was a possibly a town and episcopal see in ancient Lydia, reported by the Catholic Encyclopedia (1910),[1] but refuted by William Mitchell Ramsay in his The Historical Geography of Asia Minor (1890) where he claims that Le Quien "invented" the place by misreading the Greek records.[2]
