Argithea ({{lang-el|Αργιθέα}}) is a village and a historic municipality in the Karditsa regional unit of Greece. The seat of the municipality is in Anthiro.[1] The name derives from King Argitheos of the Athamanians who ruled c. the 3rd to 2nd century BC

Municipality

The municipality Argithea was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 3 former municipalities, that became municipal units:[1]

  • Acheloos
  • Anatoliki Argithea
  • Argithea

The municipality has an area of 372.877 km2, the municipal unit 150.377 km2.[2]

History

Anciently, Argithea or Argethia ({{lang-grc|Ἀργεθία}}) was the capital of Athamania straddling the border between Ancient Epirus and Ancient Thessaly, to the left of the main stream of the Achelous River.[3] The first evidence we have of the place is epigraphic. In the fourth century BCE, the appointment of a proxenos of Argithea is documented. Circa 230-220 BCE, a theorodokoi for the city is appointed to receive theoroi from Delphi.[4] It was also a polis (city-state).[4]

In the time of Livy it was the capital of Athamania. In the year 189 BCE. there was a rebellion by the Athamanians to try to reestablish Amynander of Athamania in power, which the help of the Aetolian League and this rebellion succeeded in expelling the garrison left by Philip V of Macedon. Later Philip sent more troops against Argithea in an attempt to recover the city, but the effort failed.[5]

The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World and Mogens Herman Hansen locate the ancient city at the modern village of Hellenika (or Ellinika) in the community of Hellenika, municipal unit and municipality of Argithea.[6][4] Hellenika is located at {{coord|39|22|54|N|21|23|30|E}}.
