(anc. geogr.), a city built by Pelops on his return from Greece. Cyne the Amazon gave it name, on expelling the inhabitants, according to Mela. Latin authors, as Nepos, Livy, Mela, Pliny, Tacitus, retain the appellation Cyne, after the Greek manner. It stood in Aetolia, between Myrina and Phocaea (Ptolemy); and long after, in Peutinger's map, is set down nine miles distant from Myrina.—From this place was the Sybilla Cumana, called Erythrea, from Erythre, "a neighbouring place." It was the country of Ephorus. Hesiod was a Cumean originally (Stephanus); his father coming to settle at Alcra in Boeotia.
