Ceros
Insula Graeca Ceros (Graece: Κέρος (f. sg)) est magnitudine secunda parvarum Cycladum orientalium et maxima Cuphonesiorum. Reperta archaeologica et notio Cultura Ceri Syrique insulam Aetate Aenea maximi momenti fuisse demonstrant.

Situs 
Ceros a nonnullis insulis circumdata circiter 10 km a Naxo in austro-orientalem et 11 km ab Amorgo in boreo-occidentem versus sita est. Inter Naxum et Cerum insulae Cuphonesium superius, Cuphonesium inferius et Glaronisium iacent. Schoenusa circiter 6.5 km ab occidente sita est.

Historia 

Inter 2700 - 2200 a.C.n. in extrema insula occidentali et in parva insula Dascalio (Δασκαλειό), quae hodie circiter 80 m a Cero abest, Aetate Aenea autem, ut putatur, ponte terrena cum Cero coniuncta erat, locus culturae Cycladum medius maximi momenti situs erat. Ex plus quam 1400 Idolis Cycladicis maxima pars ab insula Cero orunda est. 

Nomina Ceria (Κερία) insula ad Foedus Delium pertinebat. Medio Aevo insula piratis latibulo fuit. Hodie Ceros habitata non est et a pastoribus pecoribus pascendis usui est.
