[43] Neither Cnidos nor Carpathos occurs in Homer. The Cnidians worshipped the Triopian Apollo, as well as Aphrodite (Head Hist. Num. 523), and “Κνίδιος” is found once (in an inscription, as a title of the god). See Pauly-Wissowa 57. There was a temple of Apollo in Carpathos, but the island was not specially celebrated for his cult. From this island, the most southerly point of her wanderings, Leto returns towards Delos.
