Unreferenced date November 2006 King Cyzicus ruled over the Dolionians , a tribe that inhabited the southern shore of the Propontis . He gave his name to a city of the same name, Cyzicus , his capital. King Cyzicus welcomed the Argonauts on their journey to Colchis but after their departure, a storm drove them back to the Cyzicene coast at night. With neither the Argonauts nor King Cyzicus recognizing one another, each mistook the other as an enemy, and battle ensued. King Cyzicus was slain. When day broke, the Argonauts realized their tragic mistake, and granted Cyzicus an elaborate burial. King Cyzicus left behind a young bride named Cleite , daughter of Merops of Percote .

Tryphaena was born and raised in Cyzicus. The local Roman Governor Caesarius had convicted Tryphaena, because she refused to believe in the pagan Roman religion, instead Tryphaena chose to be a follower of Jesus . Caesarius considered this as a mockery to the Roman State religion and ordered her execution. Tryphaena was one of the many martyrs who gave her life to Christianity. Roman officers threw Tryphaena into a red hot oven then tied her from a high tree to throw her into sharp spears and then they took her away to be devoured by carnivores. When the Roman soldiers realised that the Lord preserved her unharmed, they finally threw her to a mad bull, which tore her apart. Tryphaena finally died.

Poseidonius said a shipwrecked sailor from India had been rescued in the Red Sea and taken to Ptolemy VIII in Alexandria . The unnamed Indian offered to guide Greek navigators to India. Ptolemy appointed Eudoxus of Cyzicus, who made two voyages from Egypt to India. The first, in 118 BC, was guided by the Indian sailor. After Eudoxus returned with a cargo of aromatics and precious stones a second voyage was undertaken in 116 BC. Eudoxus navigated the second voyage, sailing without a guide. Strabo, whose Geography is the main surviving source of the story, was skeptical about its truth. Modern scholarship tends to consider it relatively credible. During the 2nd century BC Greek and Indian ships met to trade at Arabian Peninsula Arabian ports such as Aden called Eudaemon by the Greeks . Attempts to sail beyond Aden were rare, discouraged, and involved a long and laborious coast hugging journey. Navigators had long been aware of the monsoon winds. Indian ships used them to sail to Arabia, but no Greek ship had yet done so. For the Greeks to acquire the expertise of an Indian pilot meant the chance to bypass the Arabian ports and establish direct commercial links with India.

This would make Aeneas the brother of Lapithes and Centaurus , the founders of the ancient Lapith and Centaur tribes in Thessaly . However, this Aeneus may have been intended as the eponymous founder of the Aenianes, another Thessalian tribe, and may not be the same as the founder of the Thracian city of Aenus.
