ELIKI (Ancient city) EGIALIA
Here used to be situated a city Helice, where the Ionians had
a very holy sanctuary of Heliconian Poseidon. Their worship of Heliconian Poseidon
has remained, even after their expulsion by the Achaeans to Athens, and subsequently
from Athens to the coasts of Asia. There are also passages in Homer referring
to Helice and the Heliconian Poseidon. But later on the Achaeans of the place
removed some suppliants from the sanctuary and killed them.
