Orchomenos
For other uses of Orchomenus or Orchomenos, see Orchomenus Orchomenos (Greek: ), the setting for many early Greek myths, is a rich archaeological site in Boeotia, (modern ViotiaGreece) that was inhabited from the Neolithic through the Hellenistic periods. Population 10,732 (2001).The Neolithic remains found at Orchomenos were first thought to be in situ (Bulle 1907), but it later appeared that they consisted of fill in a levelling deposit (Kunze 1931; Treuil 1983). Thus, the associated round houses (two to six meters in diameter) should not be dated to that period, but rather to the Early Bronze Age (2800-1900 BCE). Later in that period, houses were apsidal.
