Gomphi

ΓΟΜΦΟΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΡΙΚΑΛΑ
  Gomphoi (Strab. ix. p. 437; Steph. B. s. v.): Eth. Gomphos, Gompheus, Gomphensis. A town of Histiaeotis in Thessaly, situated upon a tributary of the Peneius, and near the frontiers of Athamania and Dolopia. Its position made it a place of historical importance, since it guarded two of the chief passes into the Thessalian plains: that of Musaki, distant two miles, which was the exit from Dolopia, and the pass of Portes, at a distance of four miles, which led into Athamania, and through that province to Ambracia. In the war against Philip, Amynander, king of the Athamanes, in co-operation with the Roman consul Flamininus, having descended from the latter pass ( Fauces angustae, quae ab Athamania Thessaliam dirimunt ), first took Pheca, a town lying between the pass and Gomphi, and then Gomphi itself, B.C. 198. The possession of this place was of great importance to Flamininus, since it secured him a communication with the Ambracian gulf, from which he derived his supplies. The route from Gomphi to Ambracia is described by Livy as very short but extremely difficult. The capture of Gomphi was followed by the surrender of the towns named Argenta, Pherinum, Thimarum, Lisinae, Stimo, and Lampsus, the position of which is quite uncertain. (Liv. xxxii. 14, 15.) When Athamania revolted from Philip in B.C. 189, he marched into their country by the above-mentioned pass, but was obliged to retire with heavy loss. (Liv. xxxviii. 2.) There can be no doubt that it was by the same route that the Roman consul Q. Marcius Philippus marched from Ambracia into Thessaly in B.C. 169. (Liv. xliv. 1.) In the campaign between Caesar and Pompey in B.C. 48, the inhabitants of Gomphi, having heard of Caesar's repulse at Dyrrhachium, shut their gates against him, when he arrived at the place from Aeginium; but he took the place by assault in a few hours. Caesar, in his account of these events, describes Gomphi as the first town in Thessaly to those coming from Epirus. (Caes. B.C. iii. 80; Appian, B.C. ii. 64; Dion Cass. xli. 51.)
  The Greek geographer Meletius placed Gomphi at Stages, but, from an inscription found at Stagus, it is clear that this is the site of Aeginium. Leake, however, has shown that Gomphi is represented by Episkopi, which is the name of an uncultivated height lying along the left bank of the Bliuri at a distance of two or three miles from the mountains. On this height there are still some remains of the ancient town. The modern name is owing to the fact of Gomphi having been a bishopric in later times. Leake places Pheca at a small village called Bletzi, midway between the hill of Episkcopi and the pass of Portes.

Pelinna

ΠΕΛΙΝΝΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
  More commonly Pellinaum. Pelinna, Pelinnaion, Pelenaion on coins, Eth. Pelinnaios. A town of Thessaly, in the district Histiaeotis, a little above the left bank of the Peneius. (Strab. ix. p. 437.) It seems to have been a place of some importance even in the time of Pindar. Alexander the Great passed through the town in his rapid march from Illyria to Boeotia. (Arrian, Anab. i. 7.) It did not revolt from the Macedonians together with the other Thessalians after the death of Alexander the Great. (Diod. xviii. 11.) In the war between Antiochus and the Romans, B.C. 191, Pelinnaeum was occupied by the Athamanians, but was soon afterwards recovered by the Romans. (Liv. xxxvi. 10, 14.) There are considerable remains of Pelinnaeum at Old Kardhiki or Gardhiki. The city occupied the face of a rocky height, together with a large quadrangular space at the foot of it on the south. The southern wall is more than half a mile in length, and the whole circumference near three miles. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 288.)

Tricca

ΤΡΙΚΚΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
  Trikke: Eth. Trikkaios: Trikkala. An ancient city of Thessaly in the district Histiaeotis, stood upon the left bank of the Peneius, and near a small stream named Lethaeus. (Strab. ix. p. 438, xiv. p. 647.) This city is said to have derived its name from Tricca, a daughter of Peneius. It is mentioned in Homer as subject to Podaleirius and Machaon, the two sons of Asclepius or Aesculapius, who led the Triccaeans to the Trojan War (Hom. Il. ii. 729, iv. 202); and it possessed a temple of Asclepius, which was regarded as the most ancient and illustrious of all the temples of this god. (Strab. ix. p. 437.) This temple was visited by the sick, whose cures were recorded there, as in the temples of Asclepius at Epidaurus and Cos. (Strab. viii. p. 374.) There were probably physicians attached to the temple; and Leake gives an inscription in four elegiac verses, to the memory of a god-like physician named Cimber, by his wife Andromache, which he found upon a marble in a bridge over the ancient Lethaeus. (Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 285.) In the edict published by Polysperchon and the other generals of Alexander, after the death of the latter, allowing the exiles from the different Greek cities to return to their homes, those of Tricca and of the neighbouring town of Pharcadon were excepted for some reason, which is not recorded. (Diod. xviii. 56.) Tricca was the first town in Thessaly at which Philip V. arrived after his defeat on the Aous. (Liv. xxxii. 13.) Tricca is also mentioned by Liv. xxxvi. 13; Plin. iv. 8. s. 15 Ptol. iii. 13. § 44; Them. Orat. xxvii. p. 333.
  Procopius, who calls the town Tricattus (Trikattous), says that it was restored by Justinian (de Aedif. iv. 3); but it is still called Tricca by Hierocles in the sixth century, and the form in Justinian may be a corruption. In the twelfth century it already bears its modern name (Trikkala, Anna Comn. v. p. 137, ed. Paris.; Eustath. ad Il. ii. p. 330.) Trikkala is now one of the largest towns in this part of Greece. The castle occupies a hill projecting from the last falls of the mountain of Khassia; but the only traces of the ancient city which Leake could discover were some small remains of Hellenic masonry, forming part of the wall of the castle, and some squared blocks of stone of the same ages dispersed in different parts of the town. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 425, seq., vol. iv. p. 287.)

Pharkadon, Pharkedon; Eth. Pharkedonios. A city of Histiaeotis in Thessaly, situated to the left of the Peneius, between Pelinnaeum and Atrax. It is probably represented by the ruins situated upon the slope of the rocky height above Gritziano.

Gomphoi

ΓΟΜΦΟΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΡΙΚΑΛΑ
  One of the principal cities of the region and an important site in military history, Gomphoi lies 2 km NE of the modern village of Muzaki and about 15 km SW of Trikkala. It guarded the route to the Pindos and was used as a rallying point by Philip V of Macedon. The principal cult was that of Dionysos Karpios, but inscriptions also mention Zeus Palamnios. The walls are the principal architectural remains on the triangular acropolis, which is hollowed out on one side like a natural theater.

Pelinna

ΠΕΛΙΝΝΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
  A city of Hestiaiotis, on the left bank of the Peneios (Strab. 9.438), on the S slope of a spur which extends into the middle of the N edge of the W Thessalian plain. Pelinna was flanked on the W by Trikka and on the E by Pharkadon (probably ruins at Klokoto) and formed a defensive square with Trikka, Gomphoi, and Metropolis (Strab. 9.437-438). It was the home of a Pythian victor (Pind., Pyth. 10). It issued coinage ca. 400 B.C. On Philip II's intervention in a quarrel between Pelinna and Pharkadon (?) in the late 350s B.C., the latter was destroyed, and Pelinna became the main city of W Thessaly, and loyal to Macedon (Polyaen. 4.2.18-19; Arr. Anab. 1.7.5; Diod. Sic. 18.11.1). In 191 B.C. it was taken by Amynander of the Athamanians, an ally of Antiochus III (Livy 36.10.5) but was retaken by M' Acilius in the same year (Livy 36.13.7-9, 14.3-5). It became the site of a bishopric in Christian times.
  On the top of the acropolis hill (185 m) is a natural sink hole some 100 m deep. There are two ancient city walls. The upper starts from the E and W sides of the hole and includes a part of the hill slope. The other circuit starts from the N ends of the inner wall and includes a wider section of hillside and a considerable area of the plain. The upper wall, of polygonal masonry, was strengthened at its NW corner at the sink hole by a massive double-towered bulwark, apparently somewhat later in date than the wall. There are some 11 other towers irregularly placed along its extent, the 13th tower being at the NE end of the wall, next to the hole. This upper wall seems to be 5th c. B.C. in date. The lower city wall, fairly well preserved on the hill and poorly in the plain, was furnished with some 50 or more towers fairly regularly spaced at 30 m intervals. It had gates on the W, S, and E sides, all protected by towers, and is built of rectangular blocks. Stahlin dated it to the mid 4th c. B.C. The length of the upper wall is 1630 m; of the lower, 2600.
  Inside the lower city are numerous traces of roads and buildings. Just inside the S gate is a long foundation wall (59 m) presumably of a stoa or similar building, which would have flanked the E side of the road into the city. Opposite it and roughly parallel is a short section of another foundation wall. A hollow at the foot of the hill, in the center of the city, was probably the site of the theater. Stahlin saw traces of digging (stone robbery?) where the scene building should be. About 110 m to the SW of this is the foundation of a rectangular building, perhaps a temple. A cistern is cut in the hill just below the middle of the upper wall, and another in the plain about 170 m E of the W gate. Near the bottom of the hill and about 200 m from the W wall is a raised area and on it the remains of a temple (ca. 8 x 14 m) divided into two inner rooms. Around this was a rectangular peribolos (30 x ca. 40 m) now destroyed on the N side. Along the S side of this was a long stoa-shaped building 40 m long and 6 m wide. This was divided by cross walls into two short outer rooms and one long inner one. On the hill above this temple complex are some remains, including a small rectangular foundation, perhaps of another temple, and the edging of a road which ran up the hill.
  Outside the S gate is a grave tumulus near the Larissa-Trikka road, 2 km to the S of the gate. This was investigated in 1906 and found to contain a vaulted chamber tomb. Near this two cist graves of the Hellenistic period, discovered in 1969, contained some remarkable gold jewelry (earrings, bracelet, necklace, ring, gold wreaths) dated from approximately 200-150 B.C. A certain amount of sculpture has been found, including pieces of the 6th and 5th c. B.C.

Trikka

ΤΡΙΚΚΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
  A city of Hestiaiotis known to Homer (B.729); its Asklepieion was reputed to be the oldest in Greece (Strab. 8.360; 9.437). It issued coinage in the 5th and 4th c. B.C., but virtually nothing is known of its history. It may have been destroyed by Philip II of Macedon along with Pharkadon since its exiles and Pharkadon's were later refused permission to return (Diod. Sic. 18.5.5). It became a member of the Aitolian League, however (Livy 39.25.3f), and it prospered in Roman times and later.
  Trikka is situated in the W Thessalian plain, at the end of a long ridge which runs S from the (modern) Antichasia Mts. and cuts the NW part of the plain in two. The last hill of the ridge stops just N of the Lethaios (Trikkalinos) river. Routes from Epeiros and Macedonia met at Aiginion (near modern Kalambaka); the road then led to Trikka, and from it roads led S and E. The ancient city lay on the left bank of the Lethaios river; modern Trikkala lies on both sides. An impressive mediaeval castle is built around the last hill of the ridge, near the river's left bank, on the site presumed to be the ancient acropolis. The plan of the ancient city is scarcely known, since very few remains of it are left.
  In the early part of the century Kastriotis uncovered what he took to be the asklepieion. In 1956 further excavations were carried out on this building, which lies to the E of the Church of Haghios Nikolaus in the old section of Trikkala (ca. 100 m N of the river, ca. 200 m E of the castle). The excavations were carried out amid great difficulties, and it was possible to uncover only the NE end of the building. In its final form this building was made up of a large room (N part only exposed) at the SE end (its length running NE-SW) and a series of four narrow rooms to the NW of it, then a wide room with a hypocaust floor which was evidently an addition to the earlier structure. The hypocaust room apparently dated from the 4th c. A.D., and the original building, although not certainly dated, was of the Roman Imperial period. The total NW-SE dimension (whether length or width) is unknown. The original purpose of the building is not known.
  In 1958 another building was discovered to the NW of the last, and was more thoroughly investigated in 1965-66, although again, only a part of it was uncovered. This was oriented in the same direction as the last, and lies ca. 22 m to the NW of it. The S corner of two adjoining stoa-shaped buildings at right angles to each other was also discovered. The buildings are ca. 13 m wide; the discovered length of the SE wing was 34 m. Part of the outer wall of a similar building parallel to the SE one was discovered. The whole complex is tentatively identified as a square or rectangular court surrounded by stoas, the NE side is undiscovered. The outer dimension of the complex (NW-SE) is 78 m, and for the court 53 m if the NW stoa was also 13 m wide. The construction of the walls and the finds from the foundation trench seem to date the building to the 2d c. B.C. Most significant in regard to it was the discovery within the court of fragments of decrees. Theocharis considered that, since such decrees are normally found in the chief sanctuary of a city, this building may well have been (part of) the ancient asklepieion. In the 2d c. A.D. the SE wing had been provided with a very handsome figured mosaic floor, of which a considerable part remains. The rest of the building seems to have been considerably altered at this time.
  In test trenches during the recent series of excavations part of a Roman peristyle was uncovered near the Church of the Phaneromene. Sherds from the Early Bronze Age through Hellenistic and Roman periods were found in several of the trenches. Tests on the acropolis revealed no remains earlier than the Roman period, although sherds indicated the area had been in use in prehistoric times. A test near the fortress gate revealed no ancient wall under this part of the mediaeval one, although Leake noted some remains of "Hellenic masonry forming part of the wall of the castle," no longer visible today. In the late 19th c. Ziehen saw some ancient architectural fragments, including two statue bases near the Gurna spring S of Haghios Nikolaus, by the river.

Pharkadon

ΦΑΡΚΑΔΩΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΡΙΚΑΛΑ
  The Classical city has been identified with fortifications on an isolated hill above the modern town of Klokoto. The walls, of ashlar with some Byzantine repairs, circle the W and lower of two peaks. The line of the wall runs E along the saddle but turns S to the plain without enclosing the higher peak. The city presumably extended into the plain but has left no visible remains.

Cardica

ΓΑΡΔΙΚΙ (Χωριό) ΤΡΙΚΑΛΑ
  A titular see of Thessaly. Cardica is a Latinized medieval form for Gardicium, the true Greek name being Gardikion. It figures only in the twelfth or thirteenth century as a suffragan of Larissa.
  When Thessaly was united with Greece (1881) the see had been vacant since 1875. It was suppressed in 1899, and Gardikion, commonly Gardiki, is now but a little town with about 3,000 inhabitants in the Diocese of Phthiotis.

Tricca

ΤΡΙΚΚΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
  Titular see, suffragan of Larissa in Thessaly. It was an ancient city of Thessaly, near the River Peneius and on the River Lethaeus which devastated it in 1907.
  It is mentioned in Homer as the Kingdom of Machaon and Podaleirius. It possessed the oldest known temple of AEsculapius, which was discovered in 1902, with a hospital for pilgrims. Tricca is mentioned by other writers, but not in connection with important events.
  It was a suffragan of Larissa at an early date and remained so until 1882 when this portion of Thessaly was annexed to the Kingdom of Greece. Since then the see, which bears the names of Triccala and Stagoi, is dependent on the Holy Synod of Athena.
  Tricca, now Triccala is the capital of the nome of the same name.

ΑΙΘΗΚΕΣ (Δήμος) ΤΡΙΚΑΛΑ
  Ο Δήμος Αιθήκων βρίσκεται στη Β.Δ. πλευρά της οροσειράς της Πίνδου, στο Νομό Τρικάλων, καταλαμβάνοντας 279.825 στρέμματα συνολικής έκτασης. Πρόκειται για έναν εξ' ολοκλήρου ορεινό Δήμο. Η οικονομική δραστηριότητα των κατοίκων του δήμου Αιθήκων στηρίζεται στην κτηνοτροφία και τον αγροτουρισμό και εποχιακά στην υλοτομία. Ειδικότερα τα τελευταία χρόνια ο αγροτουρισμός ακολουθεί ανοδική πορεία γεγονός που οφείλεται στη γεωγραφική θέση και την ομορφιά του φυσικού τοπίου.
  Σύμφωνα με το ιστορικό διάγραμμα των Δήμων της Ελλάδος (1833-1912) και βάσει του Β.Δ. της 31ης Μαρτίου 1883 (ΦΕΚ 126) «Περί διαιρέσεως εις δήμους της κατά τον νομόν Τρικάλων ομωνύμου επαρχίας» σχηματίσθηκε ο Δήμος Αθαμάνων, ο οποίος κατατάχθηκε στη Β' τάξη με πληθυσμό 3400 κατοίκους και έδρα το Γαρδίκι. Η αρχική του σύσταση ήταν Γαρδίκι, Τσιούρτζα, Μουτσάρα, Δέσι Καμνάϊ, Τυφλοσέλι με μεταγενέστερες προσαρτήσεις της Μονή Αγ. Τριάδος και τη Μονή Κοιμήσεως Θ/κου, ενώ ως Κοινότητες λειτούργησαν στο Δήμο, το Καμνάϊ, το Τυφλοσέλι και η Δέση.
  Με το ίδιο Β.Δ. σχηματίσθηκε και Δήμος Αιθίκων, που κατατάχθηκε στη β' τάξη με πληθυσμό 3464 και έδρα την Τύρνα. Η αρχική του σύσταση ήταν: Τύρνα, Δραμίζι, Καλόγηροι, Λάντζου, Τυχάϊ, Ζιόλι, Γκαβαλιόρα, Παληοκαρυά, Βύτσενα, Βετέρνικον, Κούτσιανα, Περτούλι, Ράχοβον, Πύρρα, Πόρτα Παναγιά, Γραβανάκι, Πόρτα Παζάρ και Δούσκον.
  Ο Δήμος Αιθήκων πήρε το όνομά του από την αρχαία χώρα του Βασιλείου της Μακεδονίας στα χρόνια του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου και των διαδόχων του, ενώ ο αρμόδιος για τα ονόματα των Δήμων Π. Ευστρατιάδης πρότεινε να δοθεί το όνομα «Δήμος Πυρρέας». Ως έμβλημα της σφραγίδας του Δήμου, καθορίσθηκε αυτό που πρότεινε το Δημοτικό Συμβούλιο «...ανήρ φέρων ενδυμασίαν ποιμενικήν και κρατών εν τη δεξιά πρόβατον...» Σήμερα ο Δήμος Αιθήκων περιλαμβάνει τα χωριά: Καλόγηροι, Βροντερό, Ελάτη, όπου και η έδρα του, όπως και ο πρωτοιδρυθείς ομώνυμος Δήμος, Περτούλι, Νεραϊδοχώρι (Βετερνίκ), Πύρρα, Δέση, Αγ. Νικόλαος (Καμνάϊ), Δροσοχώρι (Τυφλοσέλι), Γαρδίκι, Αθαμανία (Μουτσιάρα).
