Apollonia (southern Crete)


Apollonia, also called Eleuthera was an ancient city of Crete, on the south coast. William Smith states that the philosopher Diogenes Apolloniates was a native of the environs of Apollonia, although other scholars claim that the Apollonia in question was the Thracian one. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World place Apollonia at Sellia.
The site of Apollonia is near the modern Sellia.
