    History of the Peloponnesian WarClassical · Greek

    A Macedonian town besieged by the Athenians before they make a compulsory alliance with Perdiccas and withdraw to march on Potidaea.

    So they also sat down before Pydna, and besieged it;
    chapter 1
    who, on arriving in Macedonia first, found that the former thousand had just taken Therme, and were besieging Pydna.
    chapter 55
    but as he wished to go to the king, sent him by land to the other sea, to Pydna, which was in Alexander's dominions.

    First PhilippicClassical · Greek

    A former Athenian-held stronghold in the region of Philip's expansion.

    But if anyone here, Athenians, is inclined to think Philip too formidable, having regard to the extent of his existing resources and to our loss of all our strongholds, he is indeed right, yet he must reflect that we too, men of Athens, once held Pydna, Potidaea, and Methone and had in our own hands all the surrounding territory, and that many of the native tribes now in his service were then free …
