Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

Mount Athos, a sacred mountain to Poseidon, was a prominent religious and strategic site. The Athenians had a military presence here to protect their interests in the northern Aegean and maintain influence over the Macedonian and Thracian regions. The region was important during the Peloponnesian War for controlling the surrounding Aegean seas and for its religious role in Greek society. Athos was also a center of naval activities and skirmishes during the war.
