Orchomenos

Orchomenos, also called the City of Orchomenos, was an ancient polis located within the Lake Kopais region of Boeotia, Greece.

History[edit | edit source]

In antiquity, Orchomenos served as the capital of the legendary Minyans which formed a district of Boeotia. The Greek gods Zeus and Dionysos were widely worshipped there, with the former regarded as the city's protector. Its most famous sanctuary, however, was dedicated to a group of deities known as the Charites.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the city was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
