Delos is a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea which in Greek mythology was birthplace of the twin deities Artemis and Apollo. Together with its sister island, Mykoenos, it is known as the Silver Islands.[1]
Given its enormous religious significance for the ancient Greeks, the island was regarded as a holy sanctuary, a status reinforced by its enchantingly, picturesque environment. Its influence became even more immense when the Delian League was established because its Temple of the Delians housed the alliance's silver treasury.[1]
In 454 BCE, however, Perikles forcibly relocated the silver to Athens, brewing the resentment of the Delian leaders who furiously aspired to have them returned.[1] During the Peloponnesian War, a corrupt strongman, Podarkes, ruled the island, leading to its rebel leader, Kyra, to send out a request for aid.[2]
