	By the ~~late~~ 5th century BCE, the ~~site was claimed as a campsite by a detachment of~~ [[~~Followers of Ares~~]]~~.

He called forth nine young men and nine young women, and had them buried alive while sacrificing white [[horse]]s. Having done this, he and his army crossed the river.<ref name="Xerxes' Sacrifice of the Nine">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[Historical Locations#Makedonia\|Makedonia: Xerxes' Sacrifice of the Nine]]</ref>
