The Xerxes' Sacrifice of the Nine was a site west of Amphipolis, Makedonia, where King Xerxes I of Persia buried nine young boys and nine young girls alive. In addition, white horses were sacrificed by the Persian King before crossing the Strymon river with his army.
During the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan misthios, Kassandra.[1]
