ΠΥΡΡΙΧΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΗ ΜΑΝΗ
Purrhichos. A town of Laconia, situated about the centre of the promontory
ending in Cape Taenarum, and distant 40 stadia from the river Scyras. According
to some it derived its name from Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, according to others
from Pyrrhicus, one of the Curetes. Silenus was also said to have been brought
up here. It contained temples of Artemis Astrateia and of Apollo Amazonius,--the
two surnames referring to the tradition that the Amazons did not proceed further
than this place. There was also a well in the agora. The ruins of this town have
been discovered by the French Commission near the village of Kavalo, where they
found the well of which Pausanias speaks, the torso of a female statue, the remains
of baths, and several Roman ruins. Leake observes that the distance of 40 stadia
from the Scyras to Pyrrhichus must be measured, not from the mouth of that river,
as Boblaye proposes, but from near its sources. Augustus made Pyrrhichus one of
the Eleuthero-Laconian towns.

ΤΕΥΘΡΩΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΗ ΜΑΝΗ
A town of Laconia, situated upon the western side of the Laconian
gulf, 150 stadia from Cape Taenarum. It was said to have been founded by the Athenian
Teuthras. The chief deity worshipped here was Artemis Issoria. It had a fountain
called Naia. Its ruins exist at the village of Kotrones, and its citadel occupied
a small peninsula, called Skopos, Skopia or Skopopolis. The distance assigned
by Pausanias of 150 stadia from Teuthrone to Cape Taenarum is, according cording
to the French Commission, only from 8 to 10 stadia ill excess. Augustus made Teuthrone
one of the Eleuthero-Laconian towns.

ΠΥΡΡΙΧΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΗ ΜΑΝΗ
Town situated in the center of the Mama on the only road crossing
the peninsula to the S of Gytheion. The city was a member of the Eleutherolakonian
League (Paus. 3.21.7 and 25.1). The site has been identified with the modern village
of Kavalos (now renamed Pyrrhichos), in the environs of which is a place called
Pourko whose name could be seen as derived from the ancient name. The area has
not been excavated, and except for a few lintels and reused architectural fragments,
nothing is today visible. Some chance finds (inscriptions, coins, etc.) have vanished
or have been taken to the museum at Gytheion.

ΤΕΥΘΡΩΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΚΗ ΜΑΝΗ
Town and port at the back of the Bay of Kolokythia in the Gulf of
Lakonia, close to the modern village of Kotronas. The oldest settlement is on
Cape Skopa, a former islet now attached to the coast. The site was occupied from
the end of the Neolithic to the Middle Helladic period. No Mycenaean or Geometric
remains have been found, but given the lack of any systematic excavation, no conclusions
can be drawn from this. The agglomeration then spread onto the mainland. There
is an archaic remnant, a baetyl decorated with a ram's head and dating probably
from the end of the 7th c., but the majority of the chance finds or visible remains
date from the Hellenistic-Roman period. Under the Empire, Teuthrone was one of
the cities of the Eleutherolakonian League (Paus. 3.21.7 and 25.4). An inscription
testifies to the presence of a gymnasium. A paved room near Cape Skopa suggests
a bathing establishment. Inscriptions, reliefs, architectural fragments, and remains
of mosaics have also been found. The houses of Kotronas and of the neighboring
village of Phlomochori contain much reused marble from the site.
