Hierapytna (Шаблон:Lang-grc[1][2] or Ἱερὰ Πύτνα[3][4]), also Hierapydna (Ἱεράπυδνα),[5] Hierapydnes (Ἱερά Πύδνης),[6] or Hiera,[7] was a town of ancient Crete. Strabo says that it stood in the narrowest part of the island, opposite Minoa.[1] Hierapytna, according to the Stadiasmus Maris Magni, was 180 stadia from Biennus, which agrees with the distance of 20 M.P. assigned to it by the Peutinger Table. It was a town of great antiquity, and its foundation was ascribed to the Corybantes; it bore the successive names of Cyrba, Pytna, Camirus, and Hierapytna.[8][4] From an inscription preserved among the Oxford marbles, it appears that the Hierapytnians were at one time allied with the neighbouring city of Priansus.[9] There are both autonomous and Roman Imperial coins belonging to Hierapytna; the symbol on the former is generally a palm tree.[10]

Its site is located near modern Ierapetra.[11][12]
