词条 | Larissa Cremaste |
释义 |
From its being situated in the dominions of Achilles, some writers suppose that the Roman poets give this hero the surname of Larissaeus, but this epithet is perhaps used generally for Thessalian. Larissa Cremaste was occupied by Demetrius Poliorcetes in 302 BCE, when he was at war with Cassander.[3] It was taken by Lucius Apustius in the first war between the Romans and Philip V of Macedon, 200 BCE,[4] and again fell into the hands of the Romans in the war with Perseus of Macedon in 171 BCE.[5] The ruins of the ancient city are situated upon a steep hill, {{convert|2|km}} from the modern town of Pelasgia, which was renamed to reflect the ancient surname.[6][7][8] The walls are very conspicuous on the western side of the hill, where several courses of masonry remain. William Gell says that there are the fragments of a Doric temple upon the acropolis, but of these William Martin Leake makes no mention.[9] References1. ^{{Cite Strabo|ix. p.435.}} {{DGRG|title=Larissa}}2. ^{{Cite Strabo|ix. p.440.}} 3. ^{{Cite Diodorus|20.110.}} 4. ^{{Cite Livy|31.46}} 5. ^{{Cite Livy|42.56, 57.}} 6. ^{{cite DGRG|title=Larissa}} 7. ^{{Cite Barrington|55}} 8. ^{{Cite DARE|23122}} 9. ^Gell, Itinerary of Greece, p. 252; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 347. 5 : Populated places in ancient Thessaly|Cities in ancient Greece|Ancient Greek archaeological sites in Greece|Former populated places in Greece|Achaea Phthiotis |
