Eteia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eteia or Etea (Ancient Greek: Ἤτεια) was a town of ancient Crete. Pliny the Elder places it between Phalasarna and Cisamus (although some manuscripts have the town name as Elea or Eleae (Ἤλεα or Ἤλεαι).[1] Euthyphro claims that Myson of Chenae was a native of the town.[2]

The site of Eteia is unlocated.[3]
