AFETES (Ancient port) SOUTH PELION
Aphetae (Aphetai or Aphetai: Eth. Aphetaios), a port of Magnesia in
Thessaly, said to have derived its name from the departure of the Argonauts from
it. The Persian fleet occupied the bay of Aphetae, previous to the battle of Artemisium,
from which Aphetae was distant 80 stadia, according to Herodotus. Leake identifies
Aphetae with the modern harbour of Trikeri, or with that between the island of
Palea Trikeri and the main. (Herod. vii. 193, 196, viii. 4; Strab. p. 436; Apoll.
Rhod. i. 591; Steph. B. s. v.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 397, Demi of
Attica, p. 243, seq.)
