Argos Amphilochicum, Akarnania, Greece, c. 345 - 300 B.C.
|Akarnania|, |Argos| |Amphilochicum,| |Akarnania,| |Greece,| |c.| |345| |-| |300| |B.C.|, Amphilochian Argos, on the river Inachus at the eastern extremity of the Ambraciot Gulf, was the chief town of ancient Amphilochia. According to traditions cited by Strabo, it was founded after the Trojan War by Alkmeion or his brother Amphilochos. The rival of Ambrakia Arta in the 5th century B.C., it was allied with Athens at the beginning of the Peloponnesian War. The site of Argos has been a subject of dispute. Thucydides says that it was on the sea. Polybius describes it as distant 33 km, and Livy 35 km from Ambracia. William Martin Leake, writing in the 19th century placed it in the plain of Vlikha, at the modern village of Neokhori, where are the ruins of an ancient city, the walls of which were about 1.6 km in circumference.
