Description:
Pyrrichos (Greek: Πύρριχος) is one of the oldest towns in Mani peninsula, Laconia, Greece. It is part of the municipal unit East Mani. It was promised to Achilles by the Achaeans if he took part in the Trojan War.

According to one tradition Pyrrichos was named after Pyrrichos, the legendary Laconian inventor of Pyrrhichios. According to another tradition Pyrrhichios was named after Pyrrus (alternative name of Neoptolemus), son of Achilles, who was the first who danced Pyrrichios, after defeating in battle Eurypylus, son of Telephus, who fought on the side of the Trojans during the end of the Trojan War.
