Dabayaaqadii qarnigan, waxay ahayd mid ka mid ah magaalooyinka Actaean ee Mytilene ay ka lumisay xakamaynta ka dib dhammaadkii kacdoonkii Mytilenean
sanadka 427 ka hor Qoraal laga helay Athens oo taariikhdu tahay 414/413 BC, kaas oo diiwaangeliya hantida laga qabsaday ninkii reer Athens ee ku lug lahaa gudniinka Herms, wuxuu muujinayaa in qaraabada Alcibiades, Axiochus, ay dakhli ka heshay dhul ku yaal dhulka Ophryneion. Xagaagii 399 BC, Xenophon wuxuu halkaan istaagay si uu halkaan ugu bixiyo allabari isagoo ku sii jeeda gurigiisa tobanka kun. Dabadeed qarnigii 4aad ee BC, khudbad uu jeediyay af-hayeenkii Demosthenes wuxuu ka sheekeeyay sida nin laga masaafuriyay Byzantium, Parmeno, uu go'aansaday inuu dego Ophryneion, laakiin waxaa lagu qasbay inuu guuro markii dhulgariirku ku dhuftay Chersonese oo uu dumiyay gurigiisa, iyadoo loo maleynayo inuu waxyeelo la mid ah ku geystay magaalada inteeda kale. Waqti yar ka dib 316 BC, lafaha Hector waxaa laga soo wareejiyay Ophryneion ilaa Thebes (fiiri kor ku xusan, Qabriga Hector), in kasta oo sharaxaadda Strabo ee agagaarka Hector ee Ophryneion qarnigii 1aad ee AD ay soo jeedineyso in wali lagu caabuday halkaas ka dib markii lafahiisa la raray. Strabo wuxuu tilmaamayaa in ka hor heshiiskii Apamea ee 188 BC, Ophryneion ay ku hoos jirtay Dardanus waqooyi-bari, halka ka dib markaa ay ka tirsan tahay Ilium.
