- ―Kassandra[src]
Aipeia, later known as Korone, is a seaport town on the southern coast of Messenia, Greece. In classical antiquity, the town was also 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
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 make 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 Darius along with his son Natakas and the Spartan misthios Kassandra, as well as Elpidios, the son of Kassandra and Natakas, resided in.[2]
Darius later tracked Amorges and the Order of Dominion to Aipeia and travelled to the town to devise a plan to bring down Amorges and the Order.[3]
A century later, the town was renamed Korone by the Eplimelides of Thebes after he freed Messenia from Spartan rule.[4]
