Apollonia (southern Crete)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Apollonia on the north coast of Crete, see Apollonia (northern Crete).
Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία), also called Eleuthera (Ἐλεύθερα) was an ancient city on the southern coast of Crete. It was located near modern Sellia.[1][2]
William Smith states that the philosopher Diogenes Apolloniates was a native of the environs of Apollonia (the Apolloniates), although other scholars claim that the Apollonia in question was the Thracian one.[3]
