Anticyra

（Ἀντίκυρα).

1.

A town in Phocis, on a bay of the Crissaean Gulf.

2.

A town in Thessaly, on the Spercheus, not far from its mouth. Both towns were celebrated for their hellebore, the chief remedy in antiquity for madness: hence the proverb naviget Anticyram when a person acted senselessly ( Hor. Sat. ii. 3.166).
