Ἄσσηρα
μούνη γὰρ ἄγειν οὐκέτι σωκῶ λύπης ἀντίρροπον ἄχθος → I have no longer strength to bear alone the burden of grief that weighs me down, I no longer have the strength to hold up alone the weight of grief that pushes against me, I no longer have the strength to counterbalance alone the weight of grief that acts as counterweight, I have no longer strength to balance alone the counterpoising weight of sorrow

Assa (Ancient Greek: Ἄσσα), also known as Assera (Ἄσσηρα), was a town of Chalcidice, in ancient Macedonia, on the Singitic Gulf.
It is cited by Herodotus as one of the cities—together with Pilorus, Singus and Sarte—located near Mount Athos which Xerxes ordered to open a channel through which his fleet passed, and from which he recruited troops in his expedition of the year 480 BCE against Greece.
It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute registry of Athens from 454/3 to 433/2 BCE.
Pliny the Elder calls the town Cassera, and its territory was called Assyrytis (Ἀσσυρῦτις) by Aristotle. Here was a river which was called the Psychrus or Psychros (Ψυχρός), from its coldness. It was also known by the name Asseros.
Its site is tentatively located near modern Pergadikia.

Assa o Asera (in greco antico: Ἄσσα o Ἄσσηρα) era città dell'antica Grecia ubicata nella penisola Calcidica. Viene citata da Erodoto come una delle città —assieme a Piloro, Singo e Sarte— situate nei pressi del monte Athos dove Serse I aveva fatto aprire un canale per consentire il passaggio della sua flotta. In questa città reclutò mercenari, nella sua spedizione del 480 a.C. contro la Grecia.
Successivamente la città fece parte della lega delio-attica visto che è menzionata nella lista delle città tributarie di Atene dal 454 al 433 a.C.
Viene localizzata alla fine del golfo Singitico nella penisola Calcidica.
