Two weeks after the Greek army lost in northern Thessaly at Mati, Crown Prince Constantine abandoned the important city of Larissa and fell back on Pharsalus, where he attempted to turn against Edhem Pasha’s Ottoman army. Facing a fierce attack and a simultaneous assault on their right wing at Velestino, the demoralised Greeks were defeated and withdrew south to Domokos.
