Hyettus (Boeotia)

There was a temple of Heracles in the village, frequented by the sick for the cure of their diseases, with the deity worshiped in the form of a rude stone.

[2] An inscription built into the chapel of Agios Nikolaos south of the acropolis attests to a cult of Savior Asklepios in the 2nd century CE.

[3] The village was founded by and named after the mythological figure Hyettus from Argos, who fled to this area after he killed his adulterous wife.

[4] Its acropolis is located on a low hill, crowned by a chapel of Agios Athanasios, in a locality called Dendri, approximately three km NNE of the village of Pavlos, Viotias.

[5][6] On the west side of the acropolis, a stretch of polygonal fortification wall preserves a number of inscriptions of the 4th or 3rd century BCE listing young men serving in the local self-defense force.
