Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
A Greek island in the northeastern Aegean Sea, with an area of 632 square miles (1,637 square kilometers).
The island was the home of such notables as: Sappho and Terpander; first settled by the Aeolians but became subservient to Athens until the Peloponnesian War, circa 421 BCE.
When the island was re-conquered by the Athenians, the entire population narrowly escaped execution by a last-minute reprieve.
