Sybaris was an ancient city of Magna Graecia founded as an Achaean colony as early as 720 BCE on a plain that was drained by both the Crati and Sybaris rivers. Greeks from Kroton destroyed Sybaris ca. 510 BCE. Following this destruction, two successive cities, Thurii and Copia, respectively, were established on the same site. This topic is of particular interest to ancient authors, at least 70 of whom mention it.
