History
Gynaecopolis or Gynaecospolis ; "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.
