The legendary history of these relations, as recorded by Herodotus (v. 79–89; vi. 49–51, 73, 85–94), involves critical problems of some difficulty and interest. He traces the hostility of the two states back to a dispute about the images of the goddesses <a href="/w/index.php?title=Damia_(goddess)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Damia (goddess) (page does not exist)">Damia</a> and Auxesia, which the Aeginetes had carried off from <a href="/wiki/Epidaurus" title="Epidaurus">Epidauros</a>, their parent state. </p><p>The Epidaurians had been accustomed to make annual offerings to the Athenian deities <a href="/wiki/Athena" title="Athena">Athena</a> and <a href="/wiki/Erechtheus" title="Erechtheus">Erechtheus</a> in payment for the Athenian olive-wood of which the statues were made. Upon the refusal of the Aeginetes to continue these offerings, the <a href="/wiki/Athenians" class="mw-redirect" title="Athenians">Athenians</a> endeavoured to carry away the images. Their design was frustrated miraculously (according to the Aeginetan version, the statues fell upon their knees) and only a single survivor returned to Athens. There he became victim to the fury of his comrades' widows who pierced him with their <a href="/wiki/Peplos" title="Peplos">peplos</a> brooch-pins. No date is assigned by Herodotus for this "old feud"; writers such as <a href="/wiki/J._B._Bury" title="J. B. Bury">J. B. Bury</a> and R. W.

A critical analysis of the narrative seems to reveal little else than a series of aetiological traditions (explanatory of cults and customs), such as of the kneeling posture of the images of Damia and Auxesia, of the use of native ware instead of Athenian in their worship, and of the change in women's dress at Athens from the Dorian peplos to the <a href="/wiki/Ionia" title="Ionia">Ionian</a> style <a href="/wiki/Chiton_(costume)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chiton (costume)">chiton</a>. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg/220px-Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg/330px-Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg/440px-Expedition_scientifique_de_Mor%C3%A9e_%E2%80%93_Temple_de_Jupiter_%E2%80%93_%C3%89gine.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2361" data-file-height="1622" /></a><figcaption>Colour depiction of the <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Aphaea" class="mw-redirect" title="Temple of Aphaea">Temple of Aphaea</a>, sacred to a mother goddess, particularly worshiped on Aegina.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg/220px-Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg/330px-Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg/440px-Temple_of_Aphaia_in_February_2005_14.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1944" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Aphaea" class="mw-redirect" title="Temple of Aphaea">Temple of Aphaea</a> (about 490 BC)</figcaption></figure> <p>In the early years of the 5th century BC the <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Thebes_(Boeotia)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancient Thebes (Boeotia)">Thebans</a>, after the defeat by Athens about 507 BC, appealed to Aegina for assistance.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Aeginetans at first contented themselves with sending the images of the <a href="/wiki/Aeacidae" class="mw-redirect" title="Aeacidae">Aeacidae</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Tutelary_deity" title="Tutelary deity">tutelary heroes</a> of their island.

There was but one war, and it lasted from 488 to 481 BC. That Athens had the worst of it in this war is certain. Herodotus had no Athenian victories to record after the initial success, and the fact that Themistocles was able to carry his proposal to devote the surplus funds of the state to the building of so large a fleet seems to imply that the Athenians were themselves convinced that a supreme effort was necessary. </p><p>It may be noted, in confirmation of this opinion, that the naval supremacy of Aegina is assigned by the ancient writers on chronology to precisely this period, i.e. the years 490–480 BC.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_5-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Decline">Decline</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aegina&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Decline"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Essay-like plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-style ambox-essay-like" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/40px-Edit-clear.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/60px-Edit-clear.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f2/Edit-clear.svg/80px-Edit-clear.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="48" data-file-height="48" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This article <b>is written like a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_publisher_of_original_thought" title="Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not">personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay</a></b> that states a Wikipedia editor's personal feelings or presents an original argument about a topic.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aegina&action=edit">help improve it</a> by rewriting it in an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Information_style_and_tone" title="Wikipedia:Writing better articles">encyclopedic style</a>.</span> <span class="date-container"><i>(<span class="date">August 2022</span>)</i></span><span class="hide-when-compact"><i> (<small><a href="/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal" title="Help:Maintenance template removal">Learn how and when to remove this message</a></small>)</i></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>In the repulse of <a href="/wiki/Xerxes_I" title="Xerxes I">Xerxes I</a> it is possible that the Aeginetes played a larger part than is conceded to them by Herodotus. The Athenian tradition, which he follows in the main, would naturally seek to obscure their services. It was to Aegina rather than Athens that the prize of valour at Salamis was awarded, and the destruction of the Persian fleet appears to have been as much the work of the Aeginetan contingent as of the Athenian (Herod. viii. 91). There are other indications, too, of the importance of the Aeginetan fleet in the Greek scheme of defence. In view of these considerations it becomes difficult to credit the number of the vessels that is assigned to them by Herodotus (30 as against 180 Athenian vessels, cf. <a href="/wiki/Greek_History" class="mw-redirect" title="Greek History">Greek History</a>, sect. Authorities). During the next twenty years the Philo-Laconian policy of <a href="/wiki/Cimon" title="Cimon">Cimon</a> secured Aegina, as a member of the Spartan league, from attack. The change in Athenian foreign policy, which was consequent upon the ostracism of Cimon in 461 BC, resulted in what is sometimes called the First Peloponnesian War, during which most of the fighting was experienced by Corinth and Aegina. The latter state was forced to surrender to Athens after a siege, and to accept the position of a subject-ally (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 456 BC</span>). The tribute was fixed at 30 talents. </p><p>By the terms of the <a href="/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_Peace" title="Thirty Years' Peace">Thirty Years' Peace</a> (445 BC) Athens promised to restore to Aegina her autonomy, but the clause remained ineffective. During the first winter of the <a href="/wiki/Peloponnesian_War" title="Peloponnesian War">Peloponnesian War</a> (431 BC) Athens expelled the Aeginetans and established a <a href="/wiki/Cleruchy" title="Cleruchy">cleruchy</a> in their island. The exiles were settled by Sparta in <a href="/wiki/Thyreatis" class="mw-redirect" title="Thyreatis">Thyreatis</a>, on the frontiers of Laconia and Argolis. Even in their new home they were not safe from Athenian rancour. A force commanded by <a href="/wiki/Nicias" title="Nicias">Nicias</a> landed in 424 BC, and killed most of them. At the end of the Peloponnesian War <a href="/wiki/Lysander" title="Lysander">Lysander</a> restored the scattered remnants of the old inhabitants to the island,<sup id="cite_ref-Xenophon229_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Xenophon229-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Plutarch144_34-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Plutarch144-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which was used by the Spartans as a base for operations against Athens during the <a href="/wiki/Corinthian_War" title="Corinthian War">Corinthian War</a>. </p><p>It is probable that the power of Aegina had steadily declined during the twenty years after Salamis, and that it had declined absolutely, as well as relatively to that of Athens. Commerce was the source of Aegina's greatness, and her trade, which seems to have been principally with the Levant, must have suffered seriously from the war with Persia. Aegina's medism in 491 is to be explained by its commercial relations with the Persian Empire.

In 1462, the Venetian Senate ordered the relic to be removed to St. Giorgio Maggiore in Venice and on 12 November, it was transported from Aegina by Vettore Cappello, the famous Venetian commander. In return, the Senate gave the Aeginetes 100 <a href="/wiki/Ducat" title="Ducat">ducats</a> apiece towards fortifying the island. </p><p>In 1519, the government was reformed.

The populace now demanded its share and the home government ordered that at least one of the three inspectors should be a non-noble. </p><p>Aegina had always been exposed to the raids of <a href="/wiki/Privateer" title="Privateer">corsairs</a> and had oppressive governors during these last 30 years of Venetian rule. Venetian nobles were not willing to go to this island. In 1533, three rectors of Aegina were punished for their acts of injustice and there is a graphic account of the reception given by the Aeginetans to the captain of Nauplia, who came to command an enquiry into the administration of these delinquents (vid. inscription over the entrance of St. George the Catholic in Paliachora). The rectors had spurned their ancient right to elect an islander to keep one key of the money-chest. They had also threatened to leave the island en masse with the commissioner, unless the captain avenged their wrongs. To spare the economy of the community, it was ordered that appeals from the governor's decision should be made on Crete, instead of in Venice. The republic was to pay a <a href="/wiki/Bakshish" class="mw-redirect" title="Bakshish">bakshish</a> to the Turkish governor of the Morea and to the <a href="/wiki/Voivode" title="Voivode">voivode</a> who was stationed at the frontier of Thermisi (opposite Hydra).

In 1687 the Venetian army arrived in Piraeus and captured Attica. The number of the Athenians at that time exceeded 6,000, the Albanians from the villages of Attica excluded, whilst in 1674 the population of Aegina did not seem to exceed 3,000 inhabitants, two thirds of which were women. The Aeginetans had been reduced to poverty to pay their taxes. The most significant plague epidemic began in Attica during 1688, an occasion that caused the massive migration of Athenians toward the south; most of them settled in Aegina. In 1693 Morosini resumed command, but his only acts were to refortify the castle of Aegina, which he had demolished during the Cretan war in 1655, the cost of upkeep being paid as long as the war lasted by the Athenians, and to place it and Salamis under Malipiero as Governor. This caused the Athenians to send him a request for the renewal of Venetian protection and an offer of an annual tribute. He died in 1694 and Zeno was appointed at his place. </p><p>In 1699, thanks to English mediation, the war ended with the <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Karlowitz" class="mw-redirect" title="Peace of Karlowitz">peace of Karlowitz</a> by which Venice retained possession of the 7 Ionian islands as well as Butrinto and <a href="/wiki/Parga" title="Parga">Parga</a>, the Morea, <a href="/wiki/Spinalonga" title="Spinalonga">Spinalonga</a> and <a href="/wiki/Suda" title="Suda">Suda</a>, Tenos, <a href="/wiki/Santa_Maura" class="mw-redirect" title="Santa Maura">Santa Maura</a> and Aegina and ceased to pay a tribute for <a href="/wiki/Zante" class="mw-redirect" title="Zante">Zante</a>, but which restored Lepanto to the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_sultan" class="mw-redirect" title="Ottoman sultan">Ottoman sultan</a>. <a href="/wiki/Cerigo" class="mw-redirect" title="Cerigo">Cerigo</a> and Aegina were united administratively since the peace with Morea, which not only paid all the expenses of administration but furnished a substantial balance for the naval defence of Venice, in which it was directly interested. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_Ottoman_period_(1715–1821)"><span id="Second_Ottoman_period_.281715.E2.80.931821.29"></span>Second Ottoman period (1715–1821)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aegina&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Second Ottoman period (1715–1821)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During the early part of the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman%E2%80%93Venetian_War_(1714%E2%80%931718)" title="Ottoman–Venetian War (1714–1718)">Ottoman–Venetian War of 1714–1718</a> the Ottoman Fleet commanded by Canum Hoca captured Aegina.

By 1950, pistachio cultivation had significantly displaced the rest of the agricultural activity due to its high profitability but also due to the <a href="/wiki/Phylloxera" title="Phylloxera">phylloxera</a> that threatened the <a href="/wiki/Vineyards" class="mw-redirect" title="Vineyards">vineyards</a> that time. As a result, in the early 60s, the first pistachio peeling factory was established in the Plakakia area by Grigorios Konidaris.

Pistachios have made Aegina famous all over the world. Today, half of the pistachio growers are members of the Agricultural Cooperative of Aegina's Pistachio Producers. It is estimated that pistachio cultivation covers 29,000 acres of the island while the total production reaches 2,700 tons per year. In recent years, in mid-September, the Pistachio Festival has been organized every year under the name "<i>Fistiki Fest</i>".<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Culture">Culture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aegina&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mythology">Mythology</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aegina&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Mythology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Greek_mythology" title="Greek mythology">Greek mythology</a>, <a href="/wiki/Aegina_(mythology)" title="Aegina (mythology)">Aegina</a> was a daughter of the river god <a href="/wiki/Asopus" title="Asopus">Asopus</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Nymph" title="Nymph">nymph</a> <a href="/wiki/Metope_(mythology)" title="Metope (mythology)">Metope</a>.

Parents seem to have readily conformed to this in some of the more sophisticated regions of the Arvanitika-speaking community. ... According to contemporary reports, collective bilingualism, particularly among the male population, was the rule on the islands (Aegina, Salamis, Hydra, Poros, and Spetses, as well as Andros) and in Southern Attica from the mid-nineteenth century on. The women lagged somewhat behind but soon joined in (cf. Hahn's observations cited above).
