Historical background


THESSALY - LARISSA

(480-420 BC)

Thessaly was an agricultural and livestock region with wide open spaces. It was renowned for its horses and riders. Larissa, the most important city of Thessaly, takes its name from one of the daughters of the mythical king Pelasgos. Built on the right bank of the Peneios, the city was renowned for its horse breeding and Thessalos, the eponymous hero of the region, trained wild bulls there..
