in Ancient Geography, a city built by Pelops on his return to Greece. Cyme the Amazon gave it name, on expelling the inhabitants, according to Mela. Latin authors, as Nepes, Livy, Mela, Pliny, Tacitus, retain the appellation Cyme, after the Greek manner. It stood in Aëolia, 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 Erythra, "a neighbouring place." It was the country of Ephorus. Hesiod was a Cumean originally (Stephanus); his father coming to settle at Ascrea in Boeotia.
