[12] By the Achaean Crathis once stood Aigai, a city of the Achaeans. In course of time, it is said, it was abandoned because its people were weak. This Aigai is mentioned by Homer in Hērā’s speech:

“They bring thee gifts up to Helike and to Aigai.”

Iliad 8.203

Hence it is plain that Poseidon was equally honored at Helike and at Aigai.
