The village sits where the valley narrows, below the crag where the ancient city once held off armies. Davleia is a small place — fewer than fifteen hundred people at the last count — but it carries a long history in its name. Δαύλεια is ancient Daulis worn smooth by time, the way a stone step wears under foot traffic.
