'''Krani''', also known as '''Cranii''', is an area on the [[Greece|Greek]] island of [[Kefalonia]]. According to [[Thucydides]]' History of the [[Peloponnesian War]], Krani was settled by the [[Messenians]] and [[Helo]]t deserters of [[Sparta]] at the discretion of Athens. As part of the negotiations with Sparta after the "50 Years Truce" was signed, these people were moved from their garrison at Pylos where they were involved in a blocade of the troops on the island in the bay of Pylos. They were relieved by [[Athenian]] troops who then garrisoned the bay. |
