Gynaecopolis

Egypt

Gynaecopolis (Ancient Greek: Γυναικόπολις) or Gynaecospolis (Ancient Greek: Γυναικόσπολις); "Woman's city" or "Women's City"; sometimes translated as "Wife's City". It was, according to ancient Greek sources, the name of two cities: one Phoenician and one in Egypt. Nothing is known about the city in Phoenicia. The Egyptian town was located on the west side of the Nile, opposite Naucratis. Strabo calls the Egyptian town Γυναικῶν πόλις.
