Geschichte
Amyrus or Amyros was a town and polis (city-state) in Ancient Thessaly, in the western part of Magnesia, situated on a river of the same name falling into the lake Boebēis. It is mentioned by Hesiod as the "vine-bearing Amyrus." The surrounding country is called the Amyric plain by Polybius. Modern scholars identify the location of Amyrus at a place called Palaiokastro at the modern village of Gerakari. In Greek Mythology, Amyrus is either said to be one of the Argonauts or a son of sea god Poseidon and later gave his name to the city.
