Thermo Trichonidas

| Thermos (also known as Thermon or Thermum) was an ancient Greek sanctuary, which served as the regular meeting place of the Aetolian League.[1] Its focal point was the temple of Apollo Thermios famous for the archaic terra cotta metopes decorated with painted scenes from mythology which are among the earliest examples of this art form in Greece. Thermos was already an important regional centre in the prehistoric period: a long apsidal building (with one rounded end -'Megaron A'), elliptical and square houses with finds of pottery in the Middle Helladic tradition together with imports of high quality Mycenaean pottery can all be dated to the Late Helladic IIA period c1500 BC. This settlement continued to flourish throughout the Mycenaean period, even after the destruction of the Mycenaean palaces (LH IIIC, 1200-1100 BC) when a fine krater (large bowl) decorated with warriors in the same style as the well-known Warrior Vase found by Heinrich Schliemann at Mycenae was brought to the site. |
