2010 Dimos Eretrias.svg
Eretria 
(literally “city of the rowers”) is a town in
Euboea
,
Greece
, facing the coast of
Attica
across the narrow
South Euboean Gulf
. It was an important Greek
polis
in the 6th/5th century BC, mentioned by 
many famous writers and actively involved in significant historical events. 
Excavations of the ancient city began in the 1890s and have been conducted since 
1964 by the Greek Archaeological Service (11th Ephorate of Antiquities) and the
Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece
.

The Euboean League was a federal league (koinon) 
of the cities of Euboea
in
ancient Greece
, extant from the 3rd century BC 
to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

The League is first attested during the reign of
Demetrios Poliorketes
(r. 294–288 BC), but is 
not mentioned again until from 194 BC on. Based on its coinage, it survived 
until well into the
Roman Empire
, possibly as late as the 
provincial reorganization under
Diocletian
(r. 284–305). It was a full 
federation (sympoliteia) 
of city-states
, with its own
boule
 and
ecclesia
, federal laws, common coinage 
(although the member cities continued to mint their own coins), and the right to 
grant
proxenia
. The League was headed by an 
official called
hegemon
, whose name featured on federal 
coinage.

Euboea 
is the second-largest
Greek island
in area and population, after
Crete
. The narrow
Euripus Strait
separates it from
Boeotia
in mainland
Greece
. In general outline it is a long and 
narrow, seahorse-shaped island; it is about 180 kilometres (110 mi) long, and 
varies in breadth from 50 kilometres (31 mi) to 6 kilometres (3.7 mi). Its 
general direction is from northwest to southeast, and it is traversed throughout 
its length by a mountain range, which forms part of the chain that bounds
Thessaly
on the east, and is continued south of 
Euboea in the lofty islands of
Andros
,
Tinos
and
Mykonos
.

It forms most of the
regional unit of Euboea
, which also includes
Skyros
and a small area of the Greek mainland.
