Pogon

Pogon. A name given to the harbour of Troezen from its shape, being formed by a curved strip of land which resembled a beard (pogon): hence arose the proverbial joke, pleuseias eis Troizena, which was addressed to those whose chins were but scantily provided. Herodotus says that the Greek ships were ordered to assemble there prior to the battle of Salamis.
