Calynda (also Calinda, Calydna, or Karynda; ) was a city in ancient Caria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Calynda )〕 ==History== It was probably situated at the boundary of Lycia and Caria, for it is placed in the former territory by Ptolemy (xxxi, 16), in the latter by Stephanus Byzantius. Stephanus gives also another form of the name, Karynda. Calynda must be carefully distinguished from Kalydna, Kalydnos, Karyanda and Kadyanda. Strabo places it 60 stadia from the sea, west of the Gulf of Glaucus, and east of Caunus. It appears, from a passage in Herodotus,〔i. 172〕 that the territory of Caunus bordered on that of Calynda. Its king, Damasithymos, was an ally of Queen Artemisia I of Caria, and was at the Battle of Salamis with some ships on the side of Xerxes.〔Herodotus, VIII, lxxxvii.〕 Calynda was afterwards, as it appears from Polybius, subject to Caunus; but having revolted from Caunus, it placed itself under the protection of the Rhodians. Pliny writes its name Calydna.〔V, xxvii.〕 It is mentioned among the cities that struck coins in the Roman period. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calynda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
