Anemorea


Anemorea (in Greek, Ανεμώρεια, whose meaning is "windswept") is the name of an ancient Greek city of Phocis, which was mentioned by Homer in the catalog of the ships of the Iliad. >

According to Strabo, its name is due to the gusts of wind that occurred in it and indicates that some gave the name of Anemolea. Its territory had served as a border between Phocis and Delphi about 457 BC. C., when the delfos, incited by the Lacedaemonians, decided to separate of the focenses and to form its own State.

Its exact location is not known but it has been suggested that it could have been located in the modern Aracova area.
