Antikyra (disambiguation)

Antikyra or Anticyra (Greek: Αντίκυρα, Antíkyra) usually refers to Antikyra in Boeotia, Greece (the Phocian Antikyra).

It may also refer to Malian Antikyra in Thessaly.

A third Antikyra was long believed to have existed somewhere in Locris near Naupactus on the northwestern shore of the Corinthian Gulf.^{[lower-alpha 1]} This has, however, been shown to have been a misunderstanding of Titus Livius, who did not know the area well.^[1]
