Hyporeiae Explained

Hyporeiae or Hyporeiai (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ὑπώρειαι) was an ancient Greek town located in the region of Acarnania. Its exact location is unknown, although it has been suggested that it should be located in the east of Acarnania, in the border area with Aetolia.^[1]

History

Hyporeiae is known through two epigraphic testimonies beginning with a mention of the appointment of the town's theorodokos in circa 356/355 BCE to receive the theoroi of Epidaurus.^[2] Also, the town's name also appears in a 4th-century BC funerary inscription from Athens.^[3]
