VOURA (Ancient city) DIAKOPTO
When the god wiped off Helice from the face of the earth, Bura
too suffered a severe earthquake, so that not even the ancient images were left
in the sanctuaries. The only Burians to survive were those who chanced to be absent
at the time, either on active service or for some other reason, and these became
the second founders of Bura.
ELIKI (Ancient city) EGIALIA
