Founding of Meletis

The city-state of Meletis was once part of the archon Agnomakhos’s empire. The archon ruled his territory with absolute cruelty. Ephara bestowed her magic on the subjugated populace to enable them to fight back and overthrow Agnomakhos. The newly freed people then established Meletis, as the settlement on that site is known today. The founding of Ephara’s favored city is still celebrated today, both in Meletis and elsewhere among the god’s followers, as the summer holiday of Polidrysion, which gives its name to the fourth month in the Meletian calendar.
