Carene or Karene (Ancient Greek: Καρήνη),[1] also known as Carine or Karine (Καρίνη), was a town of ancient Mysia. The army of Xerxes I, on the route from Sardis to the Hellespont, marched from the Caicus through the Atarneus to Carene; and from Carene through the plain of Thebe, passing by Adramyttium and Antandrus.[2] Carene is mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium,[1] and also mentioned in a fragment of Ephorus as having sent some settlers to Ephesus, after the Ephesians had sustained a defeat from the people of Priene.[3]
Its site is tentatively located near Assar Kaya/Tasağıl, Asiatic Turkey.[4][5]
