Early Minoan bird-shaped vessel (3000-2300 BC). Archaeological Museum of Chania (Kydonia)

Cydonia or Kydonia (Ancient Greek: Κῠδωνία)(Latin:Cydonia) was an ancient city-state on the northwest coast of the island of Crete. It is at the site of the modern-day Greek city of Chania. In legend Cydonia was founded by King Cydon (Ancient Greek: Κύδων), a son of Hermes or Apollo and of Akakallis, the daughter of King Minos. According to Pausanias he was son of king Tegeates. The name Cydon may derive from the word κῦδος(=glory) or from the verb κυδάνω(=to boast). Diodorus Siculus mentions that the city was founded by King Minos.
