After Athens exiled them from Aegina in 431 BC the Spartans resettled them near Argos in a town called Thyrea.&nbsp; When Athens attacked and burned the city in 424 BC they resettled the non-Aeginetan inhabitants to islands throughout Ionia but had every Aeginetan prisoner genocidally put to death. </p><p><br /></p><p>After the war the Spartans allowed the handful that escaped to resettle thier island.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
