Thalamai

The site of Thalamai was evidently in an area known in modern times as Svina, in the eastern portion of modern Thalames/Koutiphari on the west side of the Mani peninsula at the base of the Taygetos mountains. Evidence for human habitation here stretches back to the Neolithic. In ancient times, this Laconian/Messenian settlement was home to Spartan perioikoi and, according to Pausanias, was the site of an oracle of Ino/Pasiphae.
