A town in PHOCIS between DAULIS and DELPHI which was burned by the Persians in 480 BCE, along with Daulis and PANOPEUS (8.35.1). Herodotus uses only the genitive form of the city‐ethnic, Αἰολιδέων (Aiolideōn). Aeolidae is not mentioned by other ancient sources, though it may perhaps be the “Cyparissus” in HOMER’s Iliad (2.519). It was probably located in the modern Zimeno pass and not re‐built after the PERSIAN WARS (McInerney 1999, 303–6), but the identification remains uncertain. It is not known whether the city had any connection with the AEOLIANS, one of the three major Greek ethnic groups.
