Aipy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aipy (Greek, Monotonic and Modern: Αίπυ, Polytonic: Αἶπυ) or Typaneai (Τυπανέαι) was an ancient city in Elis, the modern Ilia Prefecture, Greece.

It was one of the oldest cities in Elis and was a member of the Minyae which had six cities, it was located near Makistos and according to Homer, they were prepared for the Trojan War[1].

The ancient city has never been excavated and is 5 km from Platania. An ancient wall of the acropolis survives into the present together with a theatre and an agora (market), now entirely in rubble.[2].
