Ctimene (Thessaly)

[2][3] It is cited by Apollonius of Rhodes as the place of origin of one of the argonauts, Eurydamas, and relates it to the tribe of the Dolopes.

[4] Livy relates that the retreat of Philip V of Macedon after the Battle of the Aous (198 BC) allowed the Aetolians to occupy much of Thessaly, and these latter devastated the town called Cymene and its neighbour, Angeia.

[5] William Smith treats the reference to Cymene as a probable corruption of Ctimene.

[2] Stephanus of Byzantium mentions a tradition that Ctimene had been given by Peleus to Phoenix.

[6] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World identify the site of Ctimene with the modern village of Rentina,[7] which is tentative accepted by others.
