ΚΥΔΩΝΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΧΑΝΙΑ
In this district (of Pisa in Elis) is a hill rising to a sharp peak, on which are the ruins of the city of Phrixa, as well as a temple of Athena surnamed Cydonian. This temple is not entire, but the altar is still there. The sanctuary was founded for the goddess, they say, by Clymenus, a descendant of Idaean Heracles, and he came from Cydonia in Crete and from the river Jardanus. The Eleans say that Pelops too sacrificed to Cydonian Athena before he set about his contest with Oenomaus.

Οι Τεγεάτες ισχυρίζονταν ότι ήταν γιος του βασιλιά Τεγεάτη και ότι μετοίκησε στην Κρήτη όπου έδωσε το όνομά του στην πόλη Κυδωνία. Οι Κρήτες όμως, διαφωνόντας με τους Τεγεάτες, ισχυρίζονταν ότι ο Κύδων ήταν γιος της κόρης του Μίνω Ακακκαλίδος και του Ερμή (Παυσ. 8,53,4).
Cydon (Kudon), the founder of the town of Cydonia in Crete.
