Aege


Aege or Aige was a town of the Pallene peninsula in the Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It is mentioned by Herodotus as one of the cities of the peninsula of Pallene where Xerxes recruited troops and ships in his expedition of 480 BCE against Greece. It was probably one of the cities that sent troops to help Potidaea when that city was besieged by the Achaemenid army under the command of Artabazus in 479 BCE. Later the city belonged to the Delian League since it is mentioned in Athenian tribute lists from 454/3 to 415/4 BCE.
The site of Aege is near the modern Pefkokhori.
