Kirrha was a town located on the coastal region Pilgrim's Landing of the ancient Phokis, which served as the harbor for the Sanctuary of Delphi.
History
In the 6th century BCE, the town was once a prominent polis whose antics led the nearby Sanctuary of Delphi to wage war against the city. With aid from Kleisthenes of Sicyon, Kirrha was defeated and destroyed during the war.[1]
By the 5th century BCE, the town has since been rebuilt and served as a harbour for Delphi. Elpenor, a member of the Cult of Kosmos, was born and operated in the town by the Peloponnesian War.[1] In 431 BCE, the misthios Kassandra travelled to the town in search of Elpenor, having previously accepted Elpenor's mission to hunt down her adoptive father Nikolaos. Presenting her father's helmet to him, Kassandra reported her father "dead", with Elpenor soon revealing her true motives to her. Kassandra was ambushed by Elpenor's men while he escaped, though she was ultimately able to eliminate his men and search his estate for clues.[2]
