Pandosia (Epirus)

Pandosia (Epirus)

Pandosia (Greek: polytonic|Πανδοσία) was an ancient Greek city of Epirus. It was a colony of Elis [Demosthenes, "On the Halonnesus"; p. 84, Reiske.] , and a town of the Cassopaei in the district of Thesprotia in Epirus, situated upon the river Acheron.

It is probably represented by the rocky height of Kastrí, on the summit of which are the walls of an acropolis, while those of the city descend the slopes on either side. [Strabo vii. p. 324; Livy viii. 24 ; Justin, xii. 2; Pliny iv. 1; Steph. B. s. v.; Leake, "Northern Greece", vol. iv. p. 55.]
