MILATOS (Ancient city) NEAPOLI
A town of Crete, mentioned in the Homeric catalogue. (il. ii. 647.)
This town, which no longer existed in the time of Strabo, was looked upon by some
writers as the mother-city of the Ionian colony of the same name. (Ephorus, ap.
Strab. xii. p. 573, xiv. p. 634; Schol. Apoll. Rhod. i. 186; Apollod. iii. 1,
2, 3; Plin. iv. 12.) Mr. Pasbley (Trav. vol. i. p, 269) explored the site of this
Homeric city not far from Episkopiano, at which, considerable remains of walls
of polygonal masonry, both of the acropolis and city are still to be seen. (Hock,
Kreta, vol. i. pp. 15, 418.)
