in Ancient Geography, a city built by Peleus 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 Æolia, between Myrina and Phocæa, (Ptolemy): and long after, in Peutinger's map, is set down nine miles distant from Myrina.—From this place was the Sibylla Cumæa, called Erythrea, from Erythræa, "a neighbouring place." It was the country of Ephorus. Hesiod was a Cumean originally (Stephanus); his father coming to settle at Aesca in Beotia.
