The canal needed several years to be built and hundreds of residents of the area (mainly Acanthians, since Acanthus, modern Ierissos, is situated only 5 km away, but also residents of Sani and Ouranoupolis) were used by Xerxes as slaves for the completion of the canal.

AT the end of the 6th century, Alexarchos and the inhabitants of Sani founded the sanctuary outside the towns walls and built it on representation.

The sanctuary’s lifetime begins at the late archaic era to the Hellenistic era and its history is connected with the two ancient cities of the region, Sani, a colony of Andros, and Ouranoupolis, a town founded in 315 BC by Alexarchos, brother of Kassandros, King of Macedon.
