The history of the Denthaliatis region (comprising the villages of Alagonia, Artemisia, Karveli, Lagada, Nedousa, and Piges) dates back to ancient times. The earliest references can be found in the verses of Homer, as the Lower Land of Artemisia and the Aemyaloi of Karveli belonged to the ancient Denthaliatis Country and its inhabitants were called Denthali. The region was renowned in the ancient world for its wine, Denthis, the oldest product with a designation of origin (since 800 BC), as mentioned by Alcman, from which the unfermented wine of the flower was produced. Due to its military significance regarding Messinia and Laconia, the area was always a bone of contention between the Messenians and the Spartans.
