Lemnos
Lemnos is a Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea, near the entrance to the Dardanelles. Valued in antiquity and the Middle Ages for its grain and strategic position, it was held in turn by Athens, the Byzantines, Venetian lords after the Fourth Crusade, the Genoese Gattilusio family and the Ottomans. It became part of Greece in 1912.
