Delos is a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea which, in Greek mythology, was the birthplace of the twin deities Artemis and Apollo. Alongside its sister island, Mykonos, it was one of 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, stoking 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 its rebel leader, Kyra, to send out a request for aid.[2]
