The Xerxes' Sacrifice of the Nine was a site in Roots of an Empire, the easternmost region of Makedonia, west of Amphipolis. There the King Xerxes I of Persia buried nine young men and nine young women alive, as well as sacrificed white horses before crossing the Strymon river with his army.
By the late 5th century BCE, the site was claimed as a campsite by a detachment of Followers of Ares. During the Peloponnesian War the site was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who eliminated the Followers of Ares.[1]
Later in 422 BCE, the site was used by Konon, a member of the Order of Hunters, as his base of operations. Kassandra travelled to the site and eliminated him.[2]
