Murex Fort

The Murex Fort was a fort in Aphrodite's Watch on Kythera Island, Greece. Located between the Murex Dyeing Facility and Temple of Aphrodite, it was built to protect the region and was occupied by a sizable military force. During the Peloponnesian War, the misthios Kassandra explored the place, as she had heard a god was trapped there. While there, she also raided the fort's valuables, set fire to its war supplies, slew the garrison leader, as well as found and freed the "god", who was in fact a delusional man named Empedokles.^[1]
