The article discusses the search for the lost Temple of Artemis Amarysia in Eretria, an ancient Greek city-state on the island of Euboea. After extensive research, a classics scholar proposed a theory that the sanctuary was located near the village of Kato Vathia. Archaeologists conducted excavations in the area and uncovered ancient building materials, confirming the theory. The article also discusses the discovery of the Sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia in Amarynthos, Greece. The excavation team found evidence of ancient Greek builders, a terracotta roof tile, and a decree mentioning the sanctuary. They eventually uncovered the temple and a votive deposit containing over 700 intact objects, providing insight into the worship of Artemis. [Extracted from the article]
