İznik
İznik, Turkey Elikore, Antigonia, Nicaea Founded in the 4th century bc and named Antigonia after Antigonus I the One‐Eyed (c.382–301 bc), one of Alexander III the Great's† generals and King of Macedonia (306–301 bc); then c.300 bc it was renamed Nicaea after the deceased wife of Lysimachus (c.360–281 bc), another of Alexander's generals and King of Thrace (306–281 bc) and also King of Macedonia. It was captured by the first sultan of the Ottoman Turks, Orhan Gazi, in 1331. He made it his capital and changed its name to İznik from the Greek eis Nikian ‘to Nicaea’. Nicaea gave its name to a Christian statement of faith issued at the Council of Nicaea in 325; this later became known as the Nicene Creed.
