Given the primitive state of seafaring in the 600s BCE, it was understandable why Greek sailors would make the easy landfall at Chalcedon before attempting the more difficult task of anchoring at the Golden Horn. — PolitiTweet.org

Madden's point - and I am chagrined this was utterly news to me - was that Byzantium might look well on a map. Try rowing it. The sea currents moved slow and gently at the port of Chalcedon, fast and treacherously at the conjunction of the Golden Horn and Bosphorus. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Obviously, the Golden Horn was the better site - so Chalcedon was the "city of the blind." And if you look at the map today, you do wonder: why would anybody choose Chalcedon if the Golden Horn was available, as it was? https://t.co/bP91MgB24t — PolitiTweet.org

According to legend, an oracle told the first settlers of Byzantium to found their city "opposite the city of the blind." The voyagers were baffled by the saying, until they sailed into the Sea of Marmara and spotted the city of Chalcedon opposite the Golden Horn. — PolitiTweet.org
