spiropoulos Many have asked the historical account of byzantium. History has it as a myth that it was founded by BYZAS, between the golden horn and lygos.They called it BYZANTION after their leader BYZAS. The old greek biography states it was BYZAS who founded it, called it Byzantine, he was alexanders general in search of conquest, proclaiming it part of alexanders empire after his name.But history states Greeks colonized it in 750-550 bc, could it be like today, Macedonia was not considered greek.Byzas men in history are called men of Megra. If the present city is not old enough, look towards the sea where boats would have landed and built his fortress, as a general keyed on defense part of an empire of Alexander, not as migrate people. The Vikings called Byzantium Miklagard, meaning city of gold
