Histiaia, Euboia, Greece, c. 4th - 3rd Century B.C.
|Euboia|, |Histiaia,| |Euboia,| |Greece,| |c.| |4th| |-| |3rd| |Century| |B.C.|, Histiaia, named after its patron nymph, commanded a strategic position overlooking the narrows leading to the North Euboian Gulf. In the Iliad, Homer describes the surrounding plain as "rich in vines." In the early 4th century B.C., Histiaia seems to have been largely under the control of Sparta until they joined the Second Athenian Confederacy in 376 - 375. The city appears to have become a member (for the first time) of the reconstituted league of Euboian cities in 340, but its allegiance during most of the 4th century seems to have vacillated between Athens and Macedonia.
