Cichyrus

Cichyrus, earlier called Ephyra, was the capital of ancient Thesprotia in what is now Epirus, Greece. According to myth it was built by the Arcadian leader Thesprotos, and the historian Thucydides describes it as situated in the district of Elaeatis in Thesprotia, away from the sea. The site holds the Necromanteion, the ancient oracle of the dead. It was first settled during the Bronze Age and resettled in the 14th century BC, most likely by colonists from Chaonia and the western Peloponnese. The city lies about 800 meters north of the junction of the Kokytos River with the Acheron, and about 4.5 kilometers east of the bay of Ammoudia. Near it was the outlet into the sea of the Acherusian Lake. Strabo records that in his own time the city was called Kichyros, its name having reverted from Ephyra to its older form roughly two centuries earlier.
