Eiones
Eionae

A city in the domain of Diomedes.

  Diomedes commanded the Achaian (Achaean) soldiers from the cities of Eiones, Argos, Asine, Epidauros (Epidaurus), Hermione, Mases, Tiryns, Troizen (Troezen), and Aigina (Aegina).1

  The exact location of Eiones has not been determined but we do know from the geographer Strabo (first century BCE) that the Mycenaeans depopulated the village and used it as a naval station. That would suggest the probable location as indicated on the following maps.

1. Aigina—a town or place in Epidauria, not Aigina the island.
