Cerinthus (Euboea)

Cerinthus or Kerinthos ({{langx|grc|Κήρινθος}}) was a town upon the northeastern coast of ancient Euboea, and near the small river Budorus, said to have been founded by the Athenian Cothus. It is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.{{Cite Iliad|2.538}} Verses attributed to Theognis suggest the town was destroyed in the mid-6th century BC, either by the Kypselidai of Corinth or more likely the Athenian Miltiades.Theognidea, 891-894 If indeed it was destroyed it must have been rebuilt because it was still extant in the time of Strabo, who speaks of it as a small place.{{Cite Strabo|x. p.446}}Scymn. Ch. 576{{Cite Apollonius|1.79}}{{Cite Ptolemy|3.1, 5.25.}}{{Cite Pliny|4.12.21}}
