Kydonia (Ancient Greek: Κυδωνία) is a site on the Greek island of Krete. In classical antiquity, it was a polis located in the Little Egypt region of Messara.
History
In the 6th century BCE, Kydonia was re-founded by the Samians; still, its history pre-dated this event and thus it was considered one of the oldest cities in Crete. [citation needed]
The city housed the home of Kresilas, a sculptor known for his statue of the Athenian general Perikles.[1]
Behind the scenes
Kydonia's name is said to be derived from the quinces grown in the region. [citation needed]
