Sepias

An ancient town on the southeastern coast of the Cape of Magnesia.

When the Nereid, Thetis, defied Zeus, she was allowed to be taken by the mortal, Peleus, on the shore near Sepias; from that time forward, the entire shoreline has belonged to Thetis and her sisters.

When the Persians invaded Greece in 480 BCE, their navy was forced ashore near Sepias by a raging storm; the losses to the Persian fleet were disastrous; the storm was obviously of supernatural origin; to appease the goddess, the magicians of the Persians, the Magi, made sacrifices and cast enchantments on the wind.
