Elina (Epirus)
Elina ( el, Ελίνα) was an ancient Greek, Hellenistic fortified town in the region of Epirus. The site is known locally as Dymokastro, west of the village of Perdika. Hammond discussed the site and identified it with ancient Elina. It overlooked the site of the Battle of Syvota between Corcyra (modern Corfu) and Corinth at the start of the Peloponnesian War and was the largest naval battle between Greek city states until that time and was one of the immediate catalysts for the war. The city flourished from the Late Classical to the Roman times and was named after the Thesprotean tribe of Elinoi that lived in the region. It is estimated that, during the period of its peak, the population of the city reached 6000. The walls are reinforced by rectangular towers and date to the 4th century BC. The west wall was added in the Hellenistic period in order to incorporate the little port into the fortified area. Throughout the settlement are visible foundations of buildings, some of w ...
