The Greek Mytilene

Introduction

Mytilene is an ancient and yet the current capital city of Lesbos an island located in the southern part of Greece . it is the largest city in the island with a population of over thirty thousands people . The Delian league was an organization whose members were from the five states of Greece , this united Greece and its main objective was to fighting those who were against the organization .
