Euromos 55 pictures 2:10 minutes HQ video Euromos is located on the Izmir highway, 10 km from Milas. This was an important city in ancient times after Mylasa. The name of the city was 'Cyramos' or 'Hyramos' in the 5^th century B.C. The Greek form "Euromos" meaning "strong" is likely to be adopted as the policy of Hellenization by Mausolus. The Temple of Zeus at Euromos is among the half dozen best preserved monuments in Asia. It is in the Corinthian order and dates from the second century A.D. It has 6 columns on architrave and 9 columns on the sides. The three columns on the north side and the one at the south-western corner are unfluted, probably because the decoration work was left unfinished. Most of the columns facing north and west have panels with a dedicatory inscription. The theater is in a recess in the hillside a little above the plain, five rows of seats are best preserved in the north. The agora on the flat ground is surrounded by a stoa with some of the columns still standing. Temple Temple Back to Turkey Index
