History
A classical/hellenistic temple located in the likely territory of Acarnanian Alyzeia. The temple site lies over 6km southeast from the ancient walled city (about a kilometer south of modern Paliovarka, Greece) at a site known in modern times as Drymonas Archontochoriou. It is perched on rising ground with a view westward to the channel and the island of Karnos (modern Kalamos). Inscriptions have been recovered from the site, and an unlooted portion of a votive deposit was scientifically excavated in the 1990s.
