Thesprotia is named after the Thesprotians, an ancient Greek tribe that inhabited the region in antiquity. History Thesprotia was part of the proto-Greek region in the late Bronze Age in which Greek archaic toponyms are were densely found. In antiquity, the territory of modern Thesprotia was inhabited by the ancient Greek tribe of Thesprotians and was bordered by the neighboring regions of Molossia to the north and Chaonia to the east. Thesprotia was part of the Epirote League before it was annexed by Rome where it became part of the Roman province of Epirus.

Glyki
Glyki ( el, Γλυκή) or Glyky (Γλυκύ) is a village in Thesprotia, in northwestern Greece. History The site of Glyki is identified with the ancient city of Euroea, which was abandoned in the early 7th century due to Slavic attacks. The modern settlement is first mentioned as the '' chartoularaton'' of "Gliki" in 1205. The name "Glykys" apparently derives from the nearby Acheron River, whose estuary was known as Γλυκύς λιμὴν ("sweet port") already in Antiquity; by the 11th century, the name had been transferred to the river itself. The settlement of Glyky became a bishopric, which by 1337 had been united with the neighbouring see of Bouthrotos (Βοθρωτοὺ καὶ Γλυκέως). The joint bishopric was subordinated in the second half of the 15th century to the Metropolis of Ioannina. The ruins of a three-aisled middle Byzantine cathedral, itself erected over an earlier church, survive next to the Church of St. Donatus. Possibly the site is the same as ...
