Epirus in antiquity

Echinus or Echinos (Шаблон:Lang-el) was an ancient Greek town of Acarnania.[1] Legend has it that it was founded by a Greek mythological figure named Echinus.[2] It is mentioned by the poet Rhianus, and appears in the list of cities of Acarnania transmitted by Pliny the Elder, who places it between Heraclea and Actium.[3] The site of Echinus is near the modern town of Vonitsa, probably the kastro (or castle) of Profitis Elias.[4][5]
