Knidos
Knidos was an ancient Greek city located in Caria, a region of Western Anatolia.
History
Knidos' location in Anatolia, like many other Greek poleis made it a target of frequent attacks by the Achaemenid Empire. By the late 6th century BCE, the city was a subject of Cyrus the Great's empire.[1]
Between 475 and 450 BCE, the Knidians build the lesche in Delphi, which was later renowned for displaying two paintings by Polygnotos, one ancient Greece's most famous artists.[2]
In 467 BCE, the Athenians led by Kimon defeated the Persians at the Battle of the Eurymedon, which led to the liberation of Knidos from Persian rule.[3]
