Scione or Skione (Ancient Greek: Σκιώνη) was an ancient Greek city in Pallene, the westernmost headland of Chalcidice, on the southern coast east of the modern town of Nea Skioni. Scione was founded c. 700 BCE by settlers from Achaea; the Scionaeans claimed their ancestors settled the place when their ships were blown there by the storm that caught the Achaeans on their way back from Troy. It "was situated on one summit of a two-crested hill and on the slopes toward the sea... The hill with the fortifications and the pottery fragments constituted the acropolis of ancient Scione and the hill beyond was that on which the defenders encamped 'before the city.'"

  • Escione (en llatí Scione, en grec antic Σκιώνη) era la ciutat més important de la Pal·lene a Macedònia. Es considerava una colònia dels aqueus però la llegenda deia, com es deia també d'altres ciutats que no tenien una fundació clarament establerta, que era una ciutat fundada pels guerrers que van tornar de la Guerra de Troia. Aliats amb Bràsides es va revoltar contra Atenes el març del 421 aC, dos dies després de la treva entre Atenes i Esparta. Els atenencs van aprovar un decret per matar tots els habitants mascles i la van assetjar; Bràsides no va poder aixecar el setge tot i que havia pogut emportar-se a les dones i criatures. Finalment, després d'un llarg bloqueig, la ciutat es va rendir als atenencs que van matar tots els homes en edat militar i les dones i nens que hi van trobar van ser venuts com esclaus. Es suposa que era entre els caps Paliúri i Posídhi. (ca)

  • Scione or Skione (Ancient Greek: Σκιώνη) was an ancient Greek city in Pallene, the westernmost headland of Chalcidice, on the southern coast east of the modern town of Nea Skioni. Scione was founded c. 700 BCE by settlers from Achaea; the Scionaeans claimed their ancestors settled the place when their ships were blown there by the storm that caught the Achaeans on their way back from Troy. It "was situated on one summit of a two-crested hill and on the slopes toward the sea... The hill with the fortifications and the pottery fragments constituted the acropolis of ancient Scione and the hill beyond was that on which the defenders encamped 'before the city.'" It was a member of the Delian League. Its moment of historical importance came during the Peloponnesian War, when just after the truce between Sparta and Athens in early 423 BCE, Scione revolted against Athens and was encouraged by the Spartan general Brasidas with promises of support. The Athenians sent a fleet to retake Mende and Scione; after securing the former, they besieged Scione. In the summer of 421 they finally succeeding in reducing it; they put the adult males to death, enslaved the women and children, and gave the land to Plataea, an ally of Athens. Tim Rood writes that "Thucydides lets us feel Skione's thirst for freedom," and says the result of his account "is not criticism of Skione's folly, but pathos." W. Robert Connor says that "the ultimate destruction of Scione was one of the most notorious events in the war, and almost any Greek reader would know of its fate." By the time of the Roman Empire, Scione had "almost vanished out of existence.". However, according to recent surveys, Scione survived in the Roman (imperial) period as a vicus of the Roman colony of Cassandreia. Scione is mentioned by Roman-era geographers Pomponius Mela, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder. The site of Scione is 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the modern Nea Skione. (en)
