CYME (anc. geog.), a city built by Pelops on his return from Greece. Cyme the Amazon gave it name, on expelling the inhabitants, according to Mela. Latin authors, as Nepos, Livy, Mela, Pliny, Tacitus, retain the appellation Cyme, after the Greek manner. It stood in Acolia, between Myrina and Phocrea (Ptolemy); and long after, in Peutingers's map, is set down nine miles distant from Myrina. From this place was the Sybill's Cymæa, called Erythraea, from Erythra, "a neighbouring place." It was the country of Ephorus. Hesiod was a Cumean originally (Stephanus); his father coming to settle at Alera in Bœotia.
