Gerrhos (Greek "reed-swamp") is a place in Scythia essential to interpreting Herodotus' world-map, for it formed one of the corners of the great square that defined Scythia. A more familiar Gerrhos or reed-swamp — from the Alexandrian point of view — lay to the east of the mouth of the Nile .
Herodotus said that it had seven walls. [3] Deioces's intention was to build a palace worthy of the dignity of a king. [6] After choosing Ecbatana as his capital, Deioces decided to build a huge and strong palace in the form of seven nested castles. Herodotus says that each of them was in the color of a planet. [7]
