Orchomenus (town)
Orchomenus is an ancient city of
Boeotia in
Greece, which was the setting for many early
Greek Myths. First mentioned in the Catalogue of Ships section of
The Iliad, it was the principal city of Boeotia and first to mint coins until the rise of
Thebes. It was destroyed by the Boeotian Confederacy in
364 BC, and has remained little more than a village since.
