About Cnidus (Knidos)
Greek settlers founded Cnidus on Turkey's Aegean coast, and by the fourth century BCE it had grown into a prosperous trading port. It was renowned for a temple housing Praxiteles's celebrated statue of Aphrodite and for the astronomer Eudoxus, who studied and taught there. It served as a center of Greek trade, religion, and scholarship in Asia Minor.
