	Pylos - LoveToKnow 1911
		Most scholars, ancient and modern, have identified this with the Homeric Pylos, the home of Neleus and Nestor,and a cave on the north slope of Coryphasium is pointed out as that in which Hermes hid the stolen cattle of Apollo.
		Though Pylos should have been ceded to Sparta under the terms of the peace of Nicias (421 B.C.) it was retained by the Athenians until the Spartans recaptured it early in 409 B.C. (Diodorus xiii.
		In the middle ages the name Pylos was replaced by that of Avarino ('A(3apvos) or Navarino, derived from a body of Avars who settled there; the current derivation from the Navarrese Company, who entered Greece in 1381 and built a castle at this spot, cannot now be maintained (Eng.

	Pylos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Pylos in Messenia, in the western Peloponnese, had a rather brief existence—according to tradition, no more than four kings were its rulers from its founding to its destruction.
		The excavations at Pylos were hardly even started when war intervened; it was not until 1952 that Blegen was able to return with a team from the University of Cincinnati and organize a thorough campaign of excavation—he was to stay for a dozen years.
		Nevertheless, interesting parallels could be drawn with the Homeric epics: Pylos is mentioned at the head of nine towns that profess allegiance to it—in Homer and on the tablets—even some of the names of the towns are the same in both sources.

		In the spring of 425, a fleet of 40 warships was sent west to aid the pro-Athenian democrats in the civil war on Corcyra and to further Athenian ambitions in Sicily.
		Pylos is a narrow, rocky promontory about three-quarters of a mile long, and in antiquity was connected to the mainland all along its eastern side (the lagoon of Osmyn Aga is a recent development).
		Pylos was in many ways a ready-made fortress, but nevertheless the forces available to Demosthenes for its defense were a bit thin, even with the addition of two small Messenian vessels that "happened by" (according to Thucydides--or perhaps they were actually summoned from the AthenianÐMessenian base at Naupactus).

		The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) was the culmination of King Darius I of Persia's first major attempt to conquer the remainder of the Greeks and add them to the Persian Empire, thereby securing the weakest portion of his Western border.
		The inadvertent result was a double envelopment, and the battle ended when the whole Persian army, crowded into confusion, broke back in panic towards their ships and were pursued by the Greeks.
		August Böckh in 1855 concluded that the battle took place on 12 September 490 BC in the Julian calendar, and this is the conventionally accepted date.

	Nestor, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		When Heracles 1 ravaged the Peloponnesus, destroying the kingdoms of Elis, Lacedaemon, and Pylos in Messenia, Nestor was a boy or a very young man. It is said that when Heracles 1 occupied Pylos, he killed Nestor's father Neleus and all of Nestor's brothers.
		During the battle for Pylos, Heracles 1 wounded Hades, who was siding with the Pylians, for only in Pylos the lord of the Underworld was worshipped.
		But Nestor says that the war between Pylos and Elis took place after the invasion of Heracles 1, and that Neleus was still alive when this war, in which Nestor became a renowned warrior, took place.

		The bay is closed to the west by the island of Sphaktiria, high and craggy, separated from the coast to the north by a narrow and impracticable passage.
		From north or from the south, the arrival at Pylos is always very interesting: the high cliffs of Sphaktiria, the French castle constructed on a spur around 150m high to the northwest of the bay, the Turkish citadel at the entrance, make for an exceptionally impressive scene, where you are able to stay several days.
		The island of Sphakteria (the long, thin island pictured to the right of the bay below), where some famous naval battles (Battle of Navarino) and a siege were fought, dominates the bay, which is in itself quite beautiful.

		Pylos was conquered in 425 by the Athenian general Dimosthenes, while the counter-attack that the Spartans launched with Vrasidas, was not succesful, due to the determined defence that the Athenians presented.
		Pylos retained its importance during the Roman and Byzantine eras until the 6th century, when it falls into the hands of the Avars and changes its name to Avarino (from which came the name Navarino).
		During the 1821 War of Independence Pylos rebelled under Georgakis and Nikolaos Oikonomidis, with the help of an Eptanisian corps with Merkatis and Maniats under Pierrakos Mavromihalis and a squadron from Spetses and forced the Turks to surrender the castle (August 7, 1821).

	HERAKLES’ FURTHER ADVENTURES: PYLOS ALEOS AND AUGE
		Herakles now went for revenge to Pylos, because its king Neleus had refused to purify him after the murder of Iphitos, or because Neleus had been an ally of Augeias, or because Neleus had stolen the cattle of Geryones from him.
		In the battle at Pylos Herakles killed Neleus and eleven of his twelve sons; only Nestor, the youngest, was spared, since he had been sent away from home to be raised by the Gerenians.
		Kepheus then agreed to help Herakles but in the battle at Sparta he and all his sons were killed along with Hippokoon and his sons and Herakles’ brother Iphikles.
