Cnidos - Kunidos (English spelling)

An ancient Greek city located on the southern coast of Caria, Asia Minor. It is said to have been founded by the descendants of the Spartans around 900 BC. It was a member of the alliance known as the Dorian Hexapolis. It accumulated wealth early on through trade with Egypt, and colonized Lipara (Lipari Island) off the northern coast of Sicily. It became subordinate to Persia in 546 BC, but joined the Delian League after the Persian Wars. It was ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty in the 3rd century BC, and by Rhodes in the 2nd century BC, and was declared a free city under Roman rule from 129 BC. It is now in Turkey.
