Polichne (Crete)
Former town in Crete / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polichne (Ancient Greek: Πολίχνη), or Polichna (Πολίχνα), was an ancient town in Crete. Its site is tentatively located near the modern Ag. Georgios, Vryses.[1][2]
Thucydides claims that it fought a war against the neighboring Kydonia in 429 BC, with the support of the Athenians.[3] Herodotus reports a mythic tradition that Polichne and Praisos were the only Cretan cities which did not participate in an expedition against Camicus in Sicily in order to revenge the death of Minos.[4][5]
