It had strong links with Phoenicia and Cyprus and received a Greek colony in the seventh century BC but was destroyed during the Persian period (539-331 BC). Alexander passed this way in 333 BC (the Battle of Issus took place not far to the north near modern-day Alexandretta) and it became a Seleucid settlement after 313 BC under the name of Posideion with a fortress on its small acropolis." نسخة محفوظة 27 أكتوبر 2018 على موقع واي باك مشين.
