Lyttos was a major city in the foothills of the Lasithi mountains that Polybios considered to be the oldest polis in Crete (Polyb. 4.54.6). The town had close connections with Sparta and is almost universally called Lyktos in literary sources; however, its coins invariably provide the local spelling of the ethnic as Lyttos.
