thumb|Ancient Axos Axos was an ancient city in Crete. It was an inland town located on the slopes of Mount Ida and its harbour was at Astale. During the classical period, it was a polis (city-state).
The Linear B toponym "e-ko-so" has been hypothesized to refer to an early settlement at the site. However, because of the differing vowel quality and the lack of an initial digamma, it is not certain that the two terms are in fact linked.
