Kydonia

Kydonia (Ancient Greek: Κυδωνία) is a site on the Greek island of Krete. In classical antiquity, it was a polis located in the Little Egypt region of Messara.
==History==
In the 6th century BCE, Kydonia was re-founded by the Samians; still, its history pre-dated this event and thus it was considered one of the oldest cities in Crete.
The city housed the home of Kresilas, a sculptor known for his of the Athenian general Perikles.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Messara: Kresilas' Residence
==Behind the scenes==
Kydonia's name is said to be derived from the quinces grown in the region.
