Farm of Elais

The Farm of Elais was a farm located on the eastern coast of Kynthos Hills in Delos, Greece.

Dedicated to, or indeed believed to have belonged to, Elais, a minor goddess of oil and one of the daughters of Delos' mythical founder and ruler Anios,[1] the farm was crawling with Athenian military during the Peloponnesian War. The Spartan misthios Kassandra also explored the place, looking for the Athenian polemarch Neokles at the request of the Spartan polemarch Thaletas. As it turned out, the Athenians were also looking for Neokles, since he had deserted.[2]
