Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Nisaea or Nisaia (Ancient Greek: Νίσαια or Νισαία) was the Saronic port town of the ancient polis Megara. In Greek mythology, Nisaea was founded by one of Pandion II's sons, Nisos, who named the region given to him by his father Nisaea, after himself. Control of Nisaea slipped back and forth between Athens and Megara both before and during the Peloponessian War. Athenian allies of the Megarians built long walls which connected Nisaea to Megaris. According to Thucydides, the length of the walls that connected the port to Megara were eight Greek stadia, while Strabo claims the walls to have been 18 stadia in length. A temple of Demeter was located on the road near Nisaea, and a temple of Poseidon located within the port town. Nisaean Megara is thought to have been the birthplace of poet Theognis, but his birthplace is not known for certain The location of the ancient port town remains in debate by historians.

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Η Νίσαια ή Νισαία ήταν αρχαία πόλη και λιμάνι στον Σαρωνικό, αποτελούσε το επίνειο στα αρχαία Μέγαρα. Σύμφωνα με την Αρχαία ελληνική μυθολογία η Νίσαια ιδρύθηκε από τον γιο του βασιλιά της Αθήνας Πανδίων Β΄ Νίσο, ολόκληρη η Μεγαρίδα ονομάστηκε προς τιμή του Νισαία. Μέχρι την εποχή που ξέσπασε ο Πελοποννησιακός Πόλεμος ο έλεγχος του λιμανιού της Νισαίας άλλαζε ανάμεσα στους Μεγαρείς και τους Αθηναίους. Οι Αθηναίοι σύμμαχοι των Μεγαρέων έκτισαν ισχυρά τείχη με τα οποία ένωναν τη Νίσαια με τα Μέγαρα. Ο Θουκυδίδης καταγράφει το μήκος των τειχών στα οκτώ Ελληνικά Στάδια, ο Στράβων το ανεβάζει στα 18. Στον δρόμο κοντά στη Νίσαια βρέθηκε ναός της Δήμητρας και στο λιμάνι ναός του Ποσειδώνα. Στη Νισαία γεννήθηκε ο Θέογνις ο Μεγαρεύς αλλά αυτό δεν είναι εξακριβωμένο. Η τοποθεσία του αρχαίου λιμανιού αμφισβητείται από πολλούς ιστορικούς.
