EspañolDYME, GREECE
'Dyme' was an ancient Greek city in Achaea. It was the most westerly of the Achaean cities. The first resident of note was Oebotas who was said to be the first Achaean to win at the Ancient Olympic Games.[1]. He was not honored for this and legendarily cursed others for that.
The town has also been in the vicinity of several important battles. Thucydides indicates it was near a great naval battle of the Peloponnesian War [2] and that some fleeing the battle found shelter there. In the First Macedonian War Cycliadas and Philip of Macedon would prepare for an attack on Elis near Dyme.
In politics after the death of Alexander the Great it was briefly ruled by Cassander. It gained some attention in 280 BC for being a part of the effort to revive the Achaean League. It was destroyed by the Romans, according to some sources, for siding with Macedon during a war. Or possibly they destroyed it after a popular revolt.
