Scione

[1] Scione was founded c. 700 BCE by settlers from Achaea;[2] the Scionaeans claimed their ancestors settled the place when their ships were blown there by the storm that caught the Achaeans on their way back from Troy.

In the summer of 421 they finally succeeding in reducing it; they put the adult males to death, enslaved the women and children, and gave the land to Plataea, an ally of Athens.

"[7] W. Robert Connor says that "the ultimate destruction of Scione was one of the most notorious events in the war, and almost any Greek reader would know of its fate.

[10] Scione is mentioned by Roman-era geographers Pomponius Mela,[11] Strabo,[12] and Pliny the Elder.

[13] The site of Scione is 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the modern Nea Skione.
