Styra
Styra (
Athens, and paid a yearly tribute of 1200 drachmae.[8] The Athenian fleet was stationed here in 356 BCE.[9] Strabo relates that the town was destroyed in the "Maliac War" by the Athenian Phaedrus, and its territory given to the Eretrians;[10] but as the Maliac War is not mentioned elsewhere, we ought probably to substitute Lamian War for it.[11]
Its site is located within the borders of the modern Styra, Greece.[12][13]
