Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Lampsakos: a city on the Propontis, named after Lampsake, a certain local maiden. It is a foundation of the Phokaians and was formerly called Pityousa, as per Deiοchos of Kyzikos. Epaphroditos says that Homer called it Pityeia because it had an abundance of pine trees, while it was also called Laomedonteia. It is rich in wine; hence it was given to Themistokles by the king of the Persians to supply his wine. Demosthenes says that, because it is rich in wine, it is also a foundation of Priapos, the son of Aphrodite and Dionysos. The ethnonym is 'Lampsakenos'.
