Polichne (Ancient Greek:Πολίχνη), orPolichna (Πολίχνα), was a town ofancient Ionia, nearClazomenae. After the losses of theAthenians inSicily, Clazomenae revolted withChios andErythrae against their Athenian overlords. The Clazomenii at the same time began to fortify Polichne on the main as a place of refuge, if it should be necessary. The Athenians took Polichne, and removed the people back to Clazomenae, except those who had been most active in the revolt; and they went off to a place calledDaphnus.[1]
Its site is tentatively located near the modernUrla Iskelesi,İzmir Province,Turkey.[2][3]
