Ctimene or Ktimene ( Ancient Greek: Κτιμένη), was a town and polis [1] in ancient Thessaly, on the borders of Dolopia and Phthia, near the Lake Xynias. [2] [3] It is cited by Apollonius of Rhodes as the place of origin of one of the argonauts, Eurydamas, and relates it to the tribe of the Dolopes. [4]
Livy relates that the retreat of Philip V of Macedon after the Battle of the Aous (198 BC) allowed the Aetolians to occupy much of Thessaly, and these latter devastated the town called Cymene and its neighbour, Angeia. [5] William Smith treats the reference to Cymene as a probable corruption of Ctimene. [2] Stephanus of Byzantium mentions a tradition that Ctimene had been given by Peleus to Phoenix. [6] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World identify the site of Ctimene with the modern village of Rentina, [7] which is tentative accepted by others. [8]
