A city founded by CORINTH in the mid‐seventh century BCE on the south coast of the Ambracian Gulf (BA 54 C4; Müller I, 894–95). The Anactorians (Herodotus only uses the city‐ethnic, Ἀνακτόριοι), along with the LEUCADIANS, sent eight hundred HOPLITES to PLATAEA in 479 BCE in support of the Greek cause; they were stationed across from the SACAE in the battle line (9.28.5, 31.4). Anactorium was allied with SPARTA during the PELOPONNESIAN WAR (Thuc. 2.9.2). The small bay in front of the city was sometimes referred to as the Anactoric Gulf (Ps.‐Scylax 31, 34). A well‐known sanctuary of APOLLO Aktios was located just outside the city (Thuc. 1.29.3; Strabo 7.7.6/C325).
