Thalamae (Laconia)

According to Greek mythology, Thalamae was founded by Pelops, who, after his sister Niobe married Amphion, brought colonists from Boeotia; and was called in the time of Strabo the Boeotian Thalamae.

[3] Pephnus was on the coast, on the eastern side of the Messenian Gulf, and Thalamae was situated inland, upon the river Miléa, the minor Pamisus of Strabo.

Indeed, when Hippocoon usurped the throne of Sparta, Tyndareus fled to his brother Aphareus of Messenia where he settled in Thalamae and while living there, children were born to him.

[3][9][10] The site of Thalamae is located with the modern village of Thalames (formerly Koutiphari, but renamed to reflect the historical association).
