Amphiaraeion of Oropos

The Amphiareion of Oropos was a sanctuary dedicated to the hero Amphiaraos, situated in the hills 6 km southeast of the fortified port of Oropos, amidst a pine forest [1] [2]. Founded in the late 5th century BCE, the sanctuary served as a major religious site in ancient Greece [1] [2] [3]. Pilgrims traveled there to seek oracular responses and healing from the chthonian hero Amphiaraos [1].
