In The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men went to the land of The Cicones, robbed it, and took women captive. One of his men raped one of the women in the Temple of Athena.
The Cicones were the first people Odysseus came across after leaving Troy. Initially Odysseus and his crew plundered women and booty from the Cicones, but afterwards the Cicones fought back and forced Odysseus and his crew to flee, after they had lost 6 men from each ship.
