Eretria - Eretria (English spelling)

Japanese: エレトリア - えれとりあ(英語表記)Eretria
Eretria - Eretria (English spelling)

An ancient city on the island of Euboea in central Greece. One of the oldest cities in the Euboea region. In the early days, it prospered as a maritime nation, and at one time controlled the islands of Andros, Tenos, and Ceos. At the same time, at the end of the 8th century BC, it repeatedly fought with the powerful neighboring city of Chalcis over the fertile land of Lelanto. Later, the city was destroyed in retaliation by Persia for participating in the Ionian Revolt (499 BC). It was rebuilt and quickly regained its former power, but in the 4th century BC it came under the rule of a tyrant and became subordinate to Macedonia. After the Second Macedonian War (200 BC-197 BC), it was declared a free city by Rome.

ギリシア中部、エウボイア島にあった古代都市。エウボイア地方最古の都市の一つ。初期には海運国として栄え、一時アンドロス、テノス、ケオスの島々を従えた。その一方で、紀元前8世紀末レラント沃地(よくち)をめぐって隣国有力都市カルキスと争いを繰り返した。その後イオニア反乱(前499)に加担したためペルシアの報復を受け、町は破壊された。再建されてからすぐに昔日の勢いを取り戻したが、前4世紀には僭主(せんしゅ)の支配するところとなり、マケドニアに従属した。第二次マケドニア戦争(前200~前197)後、ローマによって自由市を宣せられた。
