Defeated in Thessaly at Mati, Pharsalus and Velestino, Crown Prince Constantine of Greece fell back on Domokos, north of Lamia, for a final stand against the victorious Ottoman army of Edhem Pasha. In a very large-scale action, the Turks were initially repulsed with heavy losses, but by nightfall, the defeated Greeks were forced to retreat and quickly ended their disastrous war.
