- ―Kassandra[src]
Aipeia, later known as Korone, is a seaport town on the southern coast of Messenia, Greece. In classical antiquity, the town was known for its Temple of Apollo Korythos that celebrated the god for his healing powers. In addition to the temple, the town housed the residence of the leader of Messenia near the docks.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
During the Peloponnesian War, the town was used by the Order of Dominion, a faction within the Persian arm of the Order of the Ancients, as a war factory to produce weapons for their secret plans to conquer Greece. In the 420s BCE, the weapons were used at the command of the Order's leader Amorges to destroy the village of Dyme in Achaia, where Amorges' former friend Darius, his son Natakas, grandson Elpidios, and the misthios Kassandra resided.[2]
Darius later tracked Amorges and the Order of Dominion to Aipeia, and travelled to the town to devise a plan to bring down the Order. Setting up a hideout in Aipeia, he was eventually found by Kassandra, and the two joined forces to end the Order's rule over Messenia, avenge Natakas' death, and find Elpidios.[3]
Decades later, in the 4th century BCE, the town was renamed Korone by Eplimelides of Thebes, after he freed Messenia from Spartan rule.[4]
