During the ancient times, Euboea used to be called Elopia, Avadis, Dolichi and Makris.
After 3000 B.C. it is believed that Euboea was already in the foreground of history. Some of its oldest inhabitants include the Leleges, the Avantes and the Kourites, while the archaeological excavations lead by D. Theocharis and A. Samson uncovered traces of life dating back to the Neolithic Age. Before the Dorian invasion it used to be inhabited by the Thessalians and during the 6th- 7th century B.C. it was colonized by the Ions.
The richness of the soil, the cattle breeding and the marble, copper and iron quarries contributed to the enormous financial development of the island and the foundation of colonies in Kerkyra, Naxos, Chalkidiki, the Dodecanese, Italy and Sicily.
Two of the biggest cities in antiquity, Chalkida and Eretria, were located in Euboea and it was the long lasting wars between them that actually caused the island to decline. After that, Euboea, just like the rest of the country, was dominated by the Macedonians, the Romans (146 B.C.), the Franks (1205) and the Turks (1405 -1830) in turn, until it became part of Greece in 1833. |
