Hyporeiae

Southern Europe

Hyporeiae, also spelled Hyporeiai, was an ancient Greek town in the region of Acarnania, in what is now Greece. Its precise location is uncertain, though scholars have proposed a site in the east of Acarnania, near the border with Aetolia. It is known from two inscriptions: one from about 356 or 355 BC recording the appointment of a theorodokos to receive sacred envoys from Epidaurus, and another, a fourth-century BC funerary inscription from Athens that names the town.
