The Büyük Menderes River (historically the Maeander also spelled "Meander");
Turkish: Büyük Menderes Nehri,
Greek: Μαίανδρος) is a river in southwestern
Turkey. It rises in west central Turkey near
Dinar before flowing west for some 250 km until reaching the
Aegean Sea in the proximity of the ancient
Ionian city
Miletus . The word "
meander" is also used metaphorically after the Greek to describe a winding pattern.
