Apollonia (Greek: Ἀπολλωνία), also called Eleuthera (Greek: Ἐλεύθερα) was an ancient city of Crete, on the south coast, of uncertain location. William Smith states that the philosopher Diogenes Apolloniates was a native of the environs of Apollonia (the Apolloniates), although other scholars claim that the Apollonia in question was the Thracian one. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World tentatively place Apollonia at Sellia.
Famous quotes containing the word coast:
“Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
