History
Cissus or Kissos was a town of Amphaxitis, Macedon, not far from Rhaecelus, which appears to have been the name of the promontory where Aeneas legendarily founded his city. Cissus, along with Aeneia and Chalastra, contributed to the aggrandizement of Thessalonica. Cissus was the birthplace of Cisseus, a Thracian chief mentioned by Homer.
