Antikyra (disambiguation)
Appearance
Antikyra or Anticyra (Greek: Αντίκυρα, Antíkyra) usually refers to Antikyra in Boeotia, Greece (the Phocian Antikyra).
It may also refer to Malian Antikyra in Thessaly.
A third Antikyra was long believed to have existed somewhere in Locris near Naupactus on the northwestern shore of the Corinthian Gulf.[2] This has, however, been shown to have been a misunderstanding of Titus Livius, who did not know the area well.[3]
