    SOME HISTORICAL NOTES...

    In 370 BC  General Epaminondas,from Thiva defeated the Spartans at the Battle of  Leuctra while entered Laconia. Freeing Messinia (which was until then under the occupation of the Spartans) chose to build the capital of Messinian at the foothills of Mount Ithomi. The city was populated quite  immediately by Messinians from the lower Italy, Sicily and also Libya who have migrated  so as not to end up helots/slaves under the dominion of the Spartans.
