History
Milatus or Milatos, also known as Miletus or Miletos (Μίλητος), was a town on the north coast of ancient Crete. It is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad. This town, which no longer existed in the time of Strabo, was looked upon by some writers as the mother-city of the Ionian colony Miletus.
