Messenia
From Warlike
Messenia was an ancient district of the southwestern Peloponnese, more or less overlapping the modern Messenia region of Greece. It occupied the peninsular region usually called by the same name along with some of the mainland. To the north it had a border with Elis along the Neda river. From there the border with Arcadia ran along the tops of Mount Elaeum and Mount Nomia and then through foothills of Taygetus. The eastern border with Laconia went along the Taygetus ridge up to the Koskaraka river, and then along that river to the sea, near the city of Abia. The Ionian Sea forms the peninsula's western border, and the peninsula and mainland sections enclose the Messenian Gulf to the south.
