The Damysos was a pirate trireme sailing the Aegean Sea east of the island of Nisyros with lesser pirate vessels during the 5th century BCE.
During the Peloponnesian War the Adrestia, commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra and captained by Barnabas, engaged the Damysos and his companions in battle, and sank it. Kassandra claimed the sail and finery of Damysos for her own.[1]
