History
Named after the main port of Athens, the Piraeus was originally part of the Athenian Navy. However, her crew went rogue, and while they no longer followed the orders of their Athenian superiors, they harassed and attacked Athens' enemies, namely the Spartans.[1]
Between 429 and 422 BCE the Piraeus was sought out and destroyed, along with its pirate companions, by the Adrestia commanded by the Spartan misthios Kassandra. In the aftermath, Kassandra claimed the ship's sail and finery for her own.[1]
