Pelasgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pelasgia (Πελασγία) is a municipality in Phthiotis, Greece. Population 3,310 (2001).
Ruins just outside the village are thought to be the remains of ancient Larisa Kremaste, a settlement dating from at least the 4th-5th Century BC and inhabited until at least Early Byantine times. The substantial boundary walls of the ancient acropolis are still visible, and mosaics from an early Christian basilica have been uncovered a short distance away near the shore. The ancient settlement appears to be mentioned in Homer in connection with a tribe called the Pelasgians, from which the modern village derives its name.
