Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία), also called Eleuthera (Ἐλεύθερα) was an ancient city of Crete, on the south coast.[1] 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.[2] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World place Apollonia at Sellia.[3]
The site of Apollonia is near the modern Sellia.[3][4]
