In case you were wondering…
What is Lilybaion?
Marsala, located in the Province of Trapani in the westernmost part of Sicily, is built on the ruins of the ancient city of Lilybaeum (Latin) or Lilybaion (Greek). The modern name ‘Marsala’ likely derived from the Arabic words مَرْسَى عَلِيّ (marsā ‘aliyy, meaning ‘Ali’s harbour’) or مَرْسَى اللّٰه (marsā llāh, meaning ‘God’s harbour’). In Greek mythology, Butes was the only Argonaut who jumped into the sea while sailing past the Sirens because he couldn’t resist the charm of their singing, but Aphrodite saved him and brought him to Lilybaion.
