| Notes | According to superstition, the foundation of Byzantium, which has been inhabited since ancient times, is attributed to the Megarians. Say: The people of Megara apply to the oracle of Deli about where it would be appropriate to establish the new city they intend to establish. The soothsayer briefly tells them: "Build it opposite the city of the blind." Following this enigmatic prophecy, M. e. The Megarians, who set out with their chief named Byzas around 658, arrived at the blue shores of the Bosphorus after a long walk. While they were looking around from the point where the Topkapı Palace was located, they caught sight of Kadıköy, which was then called Halkidonya, which was a colony of the Phoenicians, and they did not see the beauty of their location and were astonished by the choice of Halkidonia, and their people were amazed by the blind arrogance of the oracle. They understood the meaning of the answer he gave, "the land of the blind", and they founded the city here and named it Byzantium after the Byzantium who ruled it. |
