Crimissa

ΚΡΙΜΙΣΣΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΑΛΑΒΡΙΑ
And the old Crimissa, which is near the same regions (Petalia), was also founded by Philoctetes. Apollodorus, in his work On Ships,11 in mentioning Philoctetes, says that, according to some, when Philoctetes arrived at the territory of Croton, he colonized the promontory Crimissa, and, in the interior above it, the city Chone, from which the Chonians of that district took their name, and that some of his companions whom he had sent forth with Aegestes the Trojan to the region of Eryx in Sicily fortified Aegesta.
