Pausanias Description of Greece 4.30.1

[1]
  There is in our time a city Abia in Messenia on the coast, some twenty stades distant from the Choerius valley. They say that this was formerly called Ire and was one of the seven cities which Homer says that Agamemnon promised to Achilles. ¹ When Hyllus and the Dorians were defeated by the Achaeans, it is said that Abia , nurse of Glenus the son of Heracles, withdrew to Ire, and settling there built a temple to Heracles, and that afterwards for this reason Cresphontes, amongst other honors assigned to her, renamed the city after Abia . There was a notable temple of Heracles here, and also of Asclepius.
