Inscription Discovered in Paleochoria Links Goddess Artemis to Amarynthos

epa07771396 An undated handout photo made available by the Greek Ministry of Culture on 13 August 2019 shows archaeologists working at the excavation site in Paleochoria, Evia, Greece. A partially preserved inscription linking ancient Greek goddess Artemis with the ancient town of Amarynthos was found in Paleochoria, Evia, 2 km east of the modern-day town with the same name, the Ministry of Culture said on 12 August 2019. The discovery was made during this season's excavations of the sanctuary by the Swiss Archaeological School in Greece and the Antiquities Ephorate of Evia. In an announcement, the Ministry of Culture said the find was 'particularly significant, as the remains of the prehistoric settlement excaved in the '70s and '80s in the same area by the Greek Archaeological Service was one of the most important sanctuaries of ancient Euboea (Evia).' It added that in recent years excavations have revealed two stoas dating to Hellenistic times, which serve to delineate the sanctuary east and north. 'With the discovery of the south wing of the eastern stoa,' the Ministry said, 'the sanctuary's limits on three sides are now known.'
