Charadra (Messenia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charadra (Ancient Greek: Χαράδρα) was a town of ancient Messenia that according to Greek mythology was built by Pelops. It is cited by Strabo, who relates a tradition according to which Pelops, who after his sister Niobe married Amphion, brought colonists from Boeotia to Messenia and founded, in addition to Charadra, the cities of Thalamae and Leuctra.[1]
It has not been precisely located. However, it has been suggested that it could have been located in the area around Cardamila.[2]
