The most probable speculation is that Aenea was a colony of Corinthians, founded in the late 8th century BV. During the 5th century, it entered the Athenian alliance. Later, it defected from the alliance, and was attached to the Chalkis Common, in the 4th century BC until 348BC, when it was conquered by Philip B, king of Macedonia.
Aenea was one of the settlements that are mentioned in various sources to have been settled as to compose Thessaloniki. The settlement must not have been completely deserted, as activities appear still in the 3rd and 2nd century BC.
The Museum Nikos Kazantzakis in Myrtia Heraklion opened on June 27, 1983 by the culture minister Melina Mercouri.
The Byzantine museum is located northeast of the Acropolis (Its-Kaleh) of the castle of Ioannina. It is a two storey building, on the ground floor of which the main exhibition is housed, comprising of findings (sculptures, coins, ceramics, pictures, bema doors, gospels) from the 4th to the 19th century.
The museum is housed in the same building as the old Venetianturkey Headquarters Complex, which was within the perimeter of the Venetian castle, which was strengthened during the Turkish occupation.
