ΕΛΥΡΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΟ ΣΕΛΙΝΟ
Eluros: Eth. Elurios (Steph. B.). A town of Crete, which Scylax places
between Cydonia and Lissus. It had a harbour, Suia, (Steph. B.), situated on the
S. coast of the island, 60 stadia W. of Poecilassus. (Stadiasm.) Pausanias (x.
16. § 3) states: that the city. existed il his time in the mountains of Crete.
He adds that he had seen at Delphi the bronze goat which the Elyrians had dedicated,
and which was represented in the act of giving suck to Phylacis and Phylander,
children of Apollo and the nymph Acacallis, whose love had been won by the youthful
god at the house of Casmanor at Tarrha. It was the birthplace of Thaletas (Suid.
s. v.), who was considered as the inventor of the Cretic rhythm, the national
paeans and songs, with many of the institutions of his country. (Strab. x. p.
480.) Elyrus appears in Hierocles' list of Cretan cities, then reduced in number
to twenty-one. Mr. Pashley discovered the site at a Palaeokastron near Rhodovani.
The first object that presents itself is a building consisting of a series of
arches; next, vestiges of walls, especially on the N. and NE. sides of the ancient
city. The circuit of these must originally have been two miles; at a slight elevation
above are other walls, as of an acropolis. Further on are some massive stones,
some pieces of an entablature, and several fragments of the shafts of columns,
all that now remains of an ancient temple. Traces of the wall of Suia, which still
retains its ancient name, and of some public buildings, may be observed. Several
tombs, resembling those of Haghio-Kyrko, and an aqueduct, are still remaining.The
coins of this city have the type of a bee upon them.

ΥΡΤΑΚΙΝΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΟ ΣΕΛΙΝΟ
Ursakina: Hursakina, Artakina, Eth. Hurtakos, Hurtakinos. A city of
Crete, which, little as we learn of its position from Ptolemy and Stephanus of
Byzantium, yet we may safely infer from the former's words that it was situated
to the SE. of Polyrrhenia, and to the W. of Lappa. Scylax teaches us more respecting
its site; he places it on the S. of the island, and to the S. of the Dictynnean
temple of Artemis and the Pergamian district. These indications agree well with
the situation of the ruins discovered by Mr. Pashley on a hill near the village
of Temenia.
Numerous vestiges of polygonal masonry on the N. and W. sides, and
measuring little more than half a mile in length, are still existing. On the other
sides the city was precipitous. It is curious to observe the care taken by the
inhabitants in defending the gateways of their city. Not only do walls project
without the gate, but flanking walls are executed within, forming passages through
which the enemy would have to pass before he could set foot within the city.
The coins of Hyrtacina present types similar to those of Elyros, with
the retrograde epigraph ATTHU and URTAKINION.

ΕΛΥΡΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΟ ΣΕΛΙΝΟ
In antiquity the relative sea level was probably some 7.8 m higher; there would then have been the natural harbor attested by Skylax, which could have served as one of the ports of inland Elyros (the main one being Syia).

ΥΡΤΑΚΙΝΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΟ ΣΕΛΙΝΟ
