Pefnos or Pephnos or Pephnus (Ancient Greek: Πέφνος), or Pephnum or Pephnon (Πεφνόν), was a town of ancient Laconia, on the eastern coast of the Messenian Gulf, distant 20 stadia from Thalamae. Nowadays, the village Agios Dimitrios of the municipality of West Mani is near or on the spot that ancient Pefnos existed. In front of it, there is a small island of the same name (Pefnos island), which Pausanias describes as not larger than a great rock, in which stood, in the open air, brazen statues of the Dioscuri, a foot high. There was a tradition, that the Dioscuri were born in this island. The island is at the mouth of the river Miléa, which is the minor of Strabo. The Messenians said that their territories originally extended as far as Pefnos.

  • Pefnos (en grec antic Πέφνος), o també Pefnon (Πεφνόν) era una antiga ciutat de Lacònia a la costa est del golf de Messènia a 20 estadis de Talames. Davant de la ciutat hi havia una petita illa també anomenada Pefnos, que Pausànies descriu com una gran roca, on hi havia unes estàtues de bronze dels Dioscurs a l'aire lliure, d'un peu d'alçada. Segons una tradició, que va recollir Alcman, els Dioscurs havien nascut en aquell illot. Pausànies afegeix que fins i tot quan el mar pujava a l'hivern, no s'emportava les estàtues, tot i la seva petitesa. L'illa es trobava a la desembocadura del riu Milea. A l'illa hi havia dues tombes molt antigues que s'anomenaven dels Dioscurs. Els messenis reivindicaven que l'antic territori de Messènia s'estenia fins a Pefnos. (ca)

The Messenians said that their territories originally extended as far as Pefnos. In July 2020 a statue of an egg was placed on the island, depicting the union of Zeus (transformed to a swan) with Leda and proposing that Helen of Troy was born on this island. The professor of classical archaeology and the Minister of Culture and Sports of Greece Lina Mendoni stated that Helen of Troy was born on the island and inaugurated the statue at 22 August 2020.
