KYFOS (Ancient city) THESSALIA
Cyphus. Kuphos: Eth. Kuphaios. A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, which supplied 22 ships
for the Trojan war. It is placed by Strabo at the foot of Mt. Olympus. (Hom. Il.
ii. 748; Strab. ix. p. 441; Lycophr. 897.) According to Stephanus there were two
cities of the name of Cyphus, one mentioned by Homer, and the other by Lycophron;
but in this he appears to have been mistaken.
