A city in Phokis (Phocis).
During the Trojan War, Schedios (Schedius) and Epistrophos (Epistrophus) commanded the Achaian (Achaean) soldiers from Phokis including the cities of Kyparissos, Anemoreia, Daulis, Hyampolis, Krisa, Lilaia (Lilaea), Panopeus, Pytho, and the vicinity of the Kephisos (Cephisus) River.
According to the traveler-historian Pausanias (first century CE), Kyparissos was called Antikyra (Anticyra) at the time of the Trojan War (circa 1450 BCE) but Homer used the archaic name of Kyparissos just as he used the name Pytho instead of Delphi.
