History
Antikyra or Anticyra was an ancient Greek city and polis (city-state) on the right bank of the Spercheios near its mouth on the Malian Gulf in district of Malis in Thessaly. To its south lay Mount Oeta. To distinguish it from the city of the same name in Phocis, the Thessalian Antikyra was often distinguished as Malian Antikyra. Both were famed for their black and white hellebore, a prized herb in ancient Greek medicine.
