Safe is the rock of Sounion
Whoever occupied Sounion controlled the crucial sea passage between Athens and the Aegean Sea. Ancient navigation depended on the visual identification of landmarks, and the level summit of Sounion is readily recognisable from a long distance. Athens was never self-sufficient in grain and imported large quantities of wheat and barley from other lands. It was crucial to control the sea route that brought these valuable cargoes to the city. To that end, the Athenians fortified the summit with walls and towers that formed a semicircle from the base of the cape in the northwest to the edge of the cliff in the southeast. This fort was considered among the five most important in Attica, and the commander was urged to maintain the walls in good condition. The garrison consisted of Athenian ephebes (adolescent men of training age) who did their military service under a general.
