Τόπος καταγωγής του Κλύμενου που ίδρυσε το Ιερό της Αθηνάς Κυδωνίας στην Ηλεία (Παυσ. 6,21,6).
And neither is Callimachus right, they say, when he says that Britomartis, in her flight from the violence of Minos, leaped from Dicte into fishermen's "nets," and that because of this she herself was called Dictynna by the Cydoniatae, and the mountain Dicte; for Cydonia is not in the neighborhood of these places at all, but lies near the western limits of the island. However, there is a mountain called Tityrus in Cydonia, on which is a temple, not the "Dictaean" temple, but the "Dictynnaean."
Cydonia is situated on the sea, facing Laconia, and is equidistant, about eight hundred stadia, from the two cities Cnossus and Gortyn, and is eighty stadia distant from Aptera, and forty from the sea in that region. The seaport of Aptera is Cisamus. The territory of the Polyrrhenians borders on that of the Cydoniatae towards the west, and the temple of Dictynna is in their territory.
There are several cities in Crete, but the greatest and most famous are three: Cnossus, Gortyna and Cydonia.
...Then the Samians took from the men of Hermione, instead of money, the island
Hydrea which is near to the Peloponnesus, and gave it to men of Troezen for safekeeping;
they themselves settled at Cydonia in Crete, though their voyage had been made
with no such intent, but rather to drive Zacynthians out of the island. Here they
stayed and prospered for five years; indeed, the temples now at Cydonia and the
shrine of Dictyna are the Samians' work; but in the sixth year Aeginetans and
Cretans came and defeated them in a sea-fight and made slaves of them; moreover
they cut off the ships' prows, that were shaped like boars' heads, and dedicated
them in the temple of Athena in Aegina. The Aeginetans did this out of a grudge
against the Samians; for previously the Samians, in the days when Amphicrates
was king of Samos, sailing in force against Aegina, had hurt the Aeginetans and
been hurt by them. This was the cause.
Πρόταση του Νικία από τη Γόρτυνα στους Αθηναίους να πλεύσουν κατά της Κυδωνίας.
Some say that the Jews were fugitives from the island of Crete, who
settled on the nearest coast of Africa about the time when Saturn was driven from
his throne by the power of Jupiter. Evidence of this is sought in the name. There
is a famous mountain in Crete called Ida; the neighbouring tribe, the Idaei, came
to be called Judaei by a barbarous lengthening of the national name.
