Pandosia (Epirus)

[2] Very little is known about its history, save that Pandosia and its neighbours Bucheta and Elatea were conquered by Philip of Macedon.

When he left Epirus for a military campaign on the Italian Peninsula he thought himself to be safe, far away from the two places.

He did not realize there was also a city called Pandosia and identically named river in Bruttium until it was too late.

[3] In 1994, archaeological surveys were started on small number of fortified town sites in Southern Epirus.

[4] A definitive identification of this site as Pandosia has not been possible however, because Strabo described the city as situated to the south of the Acheron, but Kastri is just north of the river.
