Kondaia


Kondaia or Kondaea or Condaea was a city and polis in the district of Pelasgiotis of ancient Thessaly.
It is mentioned by Herodotus like the birthplace of Cineas, king of Thessaly who sent a thousand horsemen in aid of the Peisistratids of Athens in the face of an attack by the Spartans, at the end of the sixth century BCE.
Its location is doubtful. A settlement near the current Falani and another near Bakrina, two places of Pelasgiotis have been suggested as possible sites of the city, with the Bakrina location the more likely candidate.
