| dbo:abstract | Epeium or Epeion (Ancient Greek: Ἤπειον or Ήπειον) or Epium or Epion (Ἔπιον or Ήπιον) or Aepion or Aipion (Αἰπίον or Αἴπιον) was a town of Triphylia in ancient Elis, which stood between Makistos and Heraea, and may have been the successor settlement to Homeric Aepy. It is one of the six cities (along with Lepreum, Macistus, Phrixae, Pyrgus, and Nudium) founded by the Minyans in the territory of and Caucones. At the beginning of the 5th century BCE, it was a community of perioeci of Elis. According to Xenophon, the Eleans claimed that they had bought the town from its owners for 30 talents; the identity of these "owners" is unknown. Xenophon's phrase suggests that at the time of the sale, Epeium was not controlled by its original population. It has been suggested that it belonged to the Arcadians. Towards the year 400 BCE, Epeium was liberated from the Elean government and made autonomous. It probably joined the Triphylian federation. In 369 BCE, it was a member of the Arcadian League. The site is tentatively located near modern (formerly called Bitsibardi). Archaeologists have discovered the foundations of an old structure, a retaining wall and many tiles. The first researchers found walls of ashlar, ceramics of the Classical Period, and blocks and drums of columns. The acropolis occupies an area of 150 x 25 m (500 x 80 ft). (en) Epión, Epio o Epeo (en griego antiguo, Ἕπιον, Ήπιον, Ήπειον o Αἴπιον ) es el nombre de una ciudad griega antigua de Trifilia. Se hallaba entre Herea y Macisto. A principios del siglo V a. C., era una comunidad perieca de Elis. Los eleos afirmaban que la habían comprado por 30 talentos a sus poseedores. La identidad de esos «propietarios» es desconocida. La frase de Jenofonte sugiere, que en la época de la venta, Epión no estaba controlada por su población original. Se ha sugerido que perteneció a los arcadios. Hacia el año 400 a. C. fue liberada del gobierno eleo y hecha autónoma. Probablemente se unió a la federación trifilia. En el 369 a. C. era miembro de la Liga Arcadia. Pritchett la identifica con la actual (anteriormente llamada Bitsibardi). Este arqueólogo ha descubierto los cimientos de una antigua estructura, un muro de contención y muchas tejas. Los primeros investigadores hallaron muros de sillares, cerámica del periodo clásico, y bloques y tambores de columnas. La acrópolis ocupa un área de 150 x 25 m. (es) |
