Kondaia or Kondaea or Condaea (Ancient Greek: Κονδαία) was a city and polis (city-state) in the district of Pelasgiotis of ancient Thessaly.[1]
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.[2]
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,[3] with the Bakrina location (39°47′55″N 22°23′48″E) the more likely candidate.[4][5]
