a village of the department of Côte d'Or, in France, containing 670 inhabitants. It was a place of great note on account of its abbey, the abbot of which was the superior of the whole Cistercian order, and under whom were more than 1800 monks and nuns. It was the burying-place of the ancient monarchs of Burgundy, but now all these institutions are abolished, and the church is in ruins.

CITHÆRON, in Ancient Geography, a mountain and forest of Boeotia, celebrated both in fable and in song. To the west it runs obliquely, a little above the Sinus Crisicus, taking its rise contiguous to the mountains of Megara and Attica; then declining into plains, it terminates at Thebes. It is famous for the fate of Pentheus and Actaeon, as also for the orgia, or revels of Bacchus.
