ΚΥΝΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΦΘΙΩΤΙΔΑ
Kunos: Eth. Kunios, Kunaios. The principal sea-port of the Locri Opuntii,
was situated on a cape at the northern extremity of the Opuntian gulf, opposite
Aedepsus in Euboea, and at the distance of 60 stadia from Opus. (Strab. ix.; Paus.
x. 1. § 2.) Livy gives an incorrect idea of the position of Cynus, when he describes
it as situated on the coast, at the distance of a mile from Opus. (Liv. xxviii.
6.) Cynus was an ancient town, being mentioned in the Homeric catalogue (Il. ii.
531), and reported to have been the residence of Deucalion and Pyrrha; the tomb
of the latter was shown there. (Strab. l.c) Its site is marked by a tower, called
Paleopyrgo, and some Hellenic remains, about a mile to the south of the village
of Livanates.
