Skyros is the capital city of the island of the same name, locally called Chora. It's located in the northern region of the island.
Skyros had a fortified akropolis on top of which stood the Temple of Achilles. The city also had a port, as well as the Saccharine Orchard, a farm on the city's outskirts.[1]
History
Mythical age
According to the stories, the legendary hero Achilles was hidden in Skyros during his childhood. He had been prophesied to meet his end during the Trojan War, and in order to escape that destiny, he was disguised as one of King Lykomedes' daughters.[1]
5th century BCE
During the 5th century BCE the city became the base of the Abantis Islands' bandit group called The Dagger.[2]
During the Peloponnesian War the Spartan misthios Kassandra met the slave Agapios, and agreed to help him to demolish the bandits.[3] At the end the hunt, the Kingfisher and Agapios met at the Temple of Achilles, only to be interrupted by Kassandra and the magistrate of Chalkis City.[2]
