Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Scandeia or Skandeia (Ancient Greek: Σκάνδεια) was a town on the island of Cythera, at times considered part of ancient Laconia. Scandeia was located on the coast and is mentioned by Homer in the Iliad. Thucydides, in his account of the conquest of Cythera by Nicias, mentions Scandeia. Nicias sailed against the island with 60 triremes. Ten of them took Scandeia upon the coast (ἡ ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ πόλις, Σκάνδεια καλουμένη).

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Η Σκάνδεια ήταν αρχαία πόλη στο νησί των Κυθήρων. Μερικές φορές θεωρείται μέρος της αρχαίας Λακωνίας. Η Σκάνδεια βρισκόταν στην ακτή και αναφέρεται από τον Όμηρο στην Ιλιάδα. Ο Θουκυδίδης, στην αναφορά της κατάκτησης των Κυθήρων από τον Νικία, αναφέρει το τοπωνύμιο Σκάνδεια. Ο Νικίας επιτέθηκε στο νησί με 60 τριήρεις. Δέκα τριήρεις κατέλαβαν την Σκάνδεια με επίθεση στην ακτή της πόλης (ἡ ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ πόλις, Σκάνδεια καλουμένη).
