Kondaia

Kondaia or Kondaea or Condaea (Κονδαία) was a city and polis (city-state) in the district of Pelasgiotis of ancient Thessaly.

It is mentioned by Herodotus as 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 (39.79854°N, 22.39661°W) the more likely candidate.
