Mioneso (ancient Greek, Μυόννησος) was an ancient Greek city of Ionia located on the coast, near a promontory of the same name. There was also a homonymous island.
Stratus, who quotes it as an island, locates it between Teos and Lébedos. Pliny the Elder, on the other hand, mentions an island of Mioneso in the vicinity of Ephesus, which formed, together with Antinas and Diarreusa, a known archipelago as "of Pisistratus."
At the time of Thucydides, Mioneso belonged to Teos. The historian mentions it as the place where, in 428 a. C., the Spartan Alcide ordered to slaughter most of the prisoners in his possession.
Strabo indicates that there was a company of artists that was previously in Teos and that was later established in Ephesus, and that was transferred by Atalo I of Pergamon to Mioneso, but those of Teos sent an embassy to the Romans in which asked that they not allow Mioneso to be fortified and then the artists moved to Lebedos.
In the year 190 a. C. took place the battle of Mioneso between a Roman fleet and another of the Seleucid Empire.
