KISSOS (Ancient city) THESSALONIKI
Kissos: Khortiatzi. A mountain of Macedonia, on which were found the
lion, ounce, lynx, panther, and bear. (Xenoph. De Venat. xi. 1.) There was a town
of the same name not far from Rhaecelus, which appears to have been the name of
the promontory where Aeneas founded his city. (Lycophr. 1236.) Cissus, along with
Aeneia and Chalastra, contributed to people Thessalonica. (Strab. Epit. vii. p.
330; Dionys. i. 49.) Khortiatzi is the only high mountain which can be conceived
to have been the haunt of the beasts of prey mentioned by Xenophon.
