text:
Polichne, or Polichna (Πολίχνα), was an ancient town in Crete. Its site is tentatively located near the modern Ag. Georgios, Vryses. Thucydides claims that it fought a war against the neighboring Kydonia in 429 BC, with the support of the Athenians. Herodotus reports a mythic tradition that Polichne and Praisos were the only Cretan cities which did not participate in an expedition against Camicus in Sicily in order to revenge the death of Minos.
