The Doric or Dorian Hexapolis (Greek: Δωρικὴ Ἑξάπολις or Δωριέων Ἑξάπολις) was a federation of six cities of Dorian foundation in southwest Asia Minor and adjacent islands, largely coextensive with the region known as Doris or Doris in Asia (Δωρίς ἡ ἐν Ἀσίᾳ), and included: Cos, on the island of Cos; Cnidus in Caria; Halicarnassus in Caria; Lindus, on the island of Rhodes; Ialysus on Rhodes; and Camirus on Rhodes. | The [[Doric]] [[Hexapolis]] or [[Dorian]] [[Hexapolis]] (Greek: [[Δωρικὴ Ἑξάπολις]] or [[Δωριέων Ἑξάπολις]]) was a federation of six cities of Dorian foundation in southwest Asia Minor and adjacent islands, largely coextensive with the region known as Doris or Doris in Asia (Δωρίς ἡ ἐν Ἀσίᾳ), and included: Cos, on the island of Cos; Cnidus in Caria; Halicarnassus in Caria; Lindus, on the island of Rhodes; Ialysus on Rhodes; and Camirus on Rhodes. | ||
The members of this hexapolis celebrated a festival, with games, on the Triopian promontory near Cnidus, in honour of the Triopian Apollo; the prizes in those games were brazen tripods, which the victors had to dedicate in the temple of Apollo; and Halicarnassus was struck out of the league, because one of her citizens carried the tripod to his own house before dedicating it in the temple of Apollo. The hexapolis thus became the Doric Pentapolis.
