Killa
Cilla

A town near Troy.

  During the Trojan War, Agamemnon, commander-in-chief of the Achaian (Achaean) army, insulted and threatened Apollon's priest, Chryses. Praying for justice, Chryses referred to the god Apollon as Smintheus1 and lord of Chryse, holy Killa, and Tenedos.2

1. Smintheus—an epithet for Apollon as lord of the town Smintheion.
2. Tenedos—this reference was to the town of Tenedos and not the island with the same name.
