Cenchreae or Kenchreai (Ancient Greek: Κεγχρεαί) was a city of the ancient Troad. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, the city was that "in which Homer lived while he was inquiring of the things that concerned the Trees.".[1] Another tradition, of no more value, makes it the birthplace of Homer.[2] Its site is located near modern Kayalı Dağ.[3][4]
