High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hellespont ( "Sea of Helle", variously named in classical literature Hellespontium Pelagus, Rectum Hellesponticum, and Fretum Hellesponticum) was the ancient name of the narrow strait, now known by the modern European term the Dardanelles. It was so called from Helle, the daughter of Athamas, who was drowned here in the mythology of the Golden Fleece. The Hellespont is one of the Turkish Straits, along with the Bosporus, that separate Anatolia from the continent of Europe. Herodotus tells us that c. 482 BC the king Xerxes I of Persia (the son of Darius) had two bridges built across the width of the Hellespont at Abydos in order that his huge army, ostensibly made of 5 million men (most historians put the actual number of this army at closer to 250,000 men, though a second school of thought lends the accounts of Herodotus more credence, bringing the number closer to 400,000), could cross from Persia into Greece. This crossing was named by Aeschylus in his tragedy The Persians as the cause of divine intervention against Xerxes.
