Amyrus or Amyros ( Ancient Greek: Ἄμυρος) [1] was a town and polis (city-state) in Ancient Thessaly, [2] in the western part of Magnesia, [3] situated on a river of the same name falling into the lake Boebēis. It is mentioned by Hesiod as the "vine-bearing Amyrus." [4] The surrounding country is called the Amyric plain (τὸ Ἀμυρικὸν πέδιον) by Polybius. [5] Modern scholas identify the location of Amyrus at a place called Palaiokastro (old fort) at the modern village of Gerakari. [6] [7]
