Histoire

Eltynia was a town of ancient Crete. The city is documented through inscriptions, whose earliest testimonies date from the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, among which is a law dealing with offenses committed against young people. It is also mentioned in a list of the Cretan cities cited in a decree of Knossos c. 259-233 BCE, as well as in the list of Cretan cities that signed an alliance with Eumenes II of Pergamon in the year 183 BCE.
