The Fort of Praisai

The Fort of Praisai was a fort within Zarax Point in Lakonia, Greece. Found on a hill in the middle of the region, this fort was used to spot enemy ships and protect the eastern side of the region. It was occupied by a sizeable military force.[1] During the Peloponnesian War, the misthios Kassandra travelled to this fort when she was tasked by King Pausanias of Sparta to cull rogue krypteia, one of whom was stationed at the fort.[2]

Trivia

  • The fort may be named after the ancient town of Prasiae, which was located in the surrounding region. However, the location is more fitting for the town of Monemvasia, which also contains a fort. While the town was not formally established until the 6th century, the Greek geographer Strabo mentions a fortress occupying the promontory circa the late first century BCE, and it may have existed earlier.[3]
