According to Pausanias, the ancient name of the city, Farai, stems from the demigod Faris (or Pharis), who, according to mythology, was the son of the god Hermes. Faris also had some royal blood running in his veins from the side of his mother, Philodameia, the daughter of the king of Argos, Danaos.

 

Farai is mentioned as one of the seven cities that Agamemnon offered Achilles so that the latter would put an end to his anger and marry one of the former’s three daughters.

 

Homer refers to the city as “Firai” (Pherai) or “Firi” (Phere). Xenophon calls it “Ferai” (Pherai).
A little further up is the district Giannitsa, which is where people from the northern city of Giannitsa settled when they ‘descended’ to the south. In 1956, the area was renamed Farai and is to this day the most loved eastern suburb of Kalamata.
