ΚΑΡΔΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Cardia (Kardia: Caridia), one of the chief towns of the Thracian
Chersonesus, situated at the head of the gulf of Melas. It was originally a colony
of the Milesians and Clazomenians; but subsequently, in the time of Miltiades,
the place also received Athenian colonists. (Herod. vii. 58, vi. 33, ix. 115;
Scym. Chius, 699; Dem. c. Philip. i. p. 63, de Halon. pp. 87, 88, and elsewhere.)
The town was destroyed by Lysimachus (Paus. i. 9. § 10), and although it was afterwards
rebuilt, it never again rose to any degree of prosperity, as Lysimachia, which
was built in its vicinity and peopled with the inhabitants of Cardia, became the
chief town in that neighbourhood. (Strab. vii. p. 331; Pans. i. 10. § 5, iv. 34.
§ 6; Appian, B.C. iv. 88; Ptol. iii. 12. § 2; Steph. B. s. v.) Cardia was the
birthplace of king Eumenes (Nep. Eum. 1) and of the historian Hieronymus. (Paus.
i. 9. § 10.)
A town on the Thracian Chersonese, on the Gulf of Melas, the birthplace of Eumenes. It was destroyed by Lysimachus, who built the town of Lysimachia in its immediate neighbourhood.
