Carduchian Mountains

The Carduchian Mountains were the rugged highlands north of the Tigris, in the borderlands of modern southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq, inhabited by the warlike Carduchi (often associated with the later Kurds). Xenophon's Ten Thousand fought their way through this difficult country during their northward retreat, as recounted in the Anabasis.
