Ira ( Ancient Greek: Ἰρά), or Ire (Ἱρὴ), was a town of ancient Messenia, mentioned by Homer in the Iliad, [1] as one of the seven towns which Agamemnon offered to Achilles. It is identified with either the later Abia on the Messenian Gulf, [2] or the later Eira. [3] Its location necessarily depends on which identification is accepted.
