In 1880-1886, Heinrich Schliemann's excavations ( H. Schliemann, Orchomenos, Leipzig 1881 ) revealed the tholos tomb he called the " Tomb of Minyas ", a Mycenaean monument that equalled the " Tomb of Atreus " at Mycenae itself.

She was a lover of Zeus and bore a son by him, Orchomenos ( or Chrysen ).

The IAU Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature refers to Hermippe as " Consort of Zeus and mother of Orchomenos by him ", apparently following an alternate version recorded by scholiasts on Homer.

The municipality Orchomenos was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 2 former municipalities, that became municipal units:

According to the founding myth of Orchomenos, its royal dynasty had been established by the Minyans, who had followed their eponymous leader Minyas from coastal Thessaly to settle the site.

The Theban revenge after their defeat of Sparta in the battle of Leuctra ( 371 BC ) was delayed by the tolerant policies of Epaminondas: the Boeotian League sacked Orchomenos in 364 BC.

He did the same to the daughters of Minyas, King of Orchomenos in Boetia, and then turned them into bats.

At Thebes and Orchomenos, a festival called Homolôïa, which was celebrated in honour of Zeus, Demeter, Athena and Enyo, was said to have received the surname of Homoloïus from Homoloïs, a priestess of Enyo.

Thermopylae is primarily known for the battle that took place there in 480 BC, in which an outnumbered Greek force probably of seven thousand ( including the famous 300 Spartans, 500 warriors from Tegea, 500 from Mantinea, 120 from Arcadian Orchomenos, 1000 from the rest of Arcadia, 200 from Phlius, 80 from Mycenae, 700 Corinthians, 400 Thebans, 1000 Phocians and the Opuntian Locrians ) held off a substantially larger force of Persians estimated in the range 70, 000-300, 000 under Xerxes.

Activity is more vigorous in Boeotia, especially those from the Ptoan sanctuary and the Orchomenos kouros ( NAMA 9 ), early work there is probably native.

Mycenaean frescoes have been discovered in palace contexts, notably at Pylos, Mycenae, Orchomenos, Thebes, and Tiryns, and in a few non-palatial, perhaps privately-owned contexts.

In the tradition recorded centuries later in Homer, there were several states, the cities of the Iliad: Mycenae, Pylos, Orchomenos — which are known to archaeology — and perhaps also unconfirmed Sparta or Ithaca.

It flows east through the Boeotian plain, passing the towns Amfikleia, Kato Tithorea and Orchomenos.

Orchomenus ( or Orchomenos, Orkhomenos Greek: ), the setting for many early Greek myths, is a municipality and a rich archaeological site in Boeotia, Greece, that was inhabited from the Neolithic through the Hellenistic periods.

In the Bronze Age, during the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries, Orchomenos became a rich and important centre of civilization in Mycenaean Greece, the latter of which was a rival to Thebes.

The palace, which had frescoed walls, and the great tholos tombs show the power of Orchomenos in Mycenaean times.

Like many sites around the Aegean, Orchomenos was burned and its palace destroyed, ca.

Orchomenos is mentioned among the Achaean cities sending ships to engage in the Trojan War in Homer's " Catalogue of Ships " in Iliad: together with Aspledon, they contributed thirty ships and their complement of men.

Orchomenos seems to have been one of the city-states that joined the maritime Amphictyony in the seventh century BC.

Orchomenos joined the Boeotian League ca.

Orchomenos struck its coinage from the mid-sixth century.

Classical Orchomenos was known for its sanctuary of the Charites, the oldest in the city, according to Pausanias ( 5. 172-80 ); the Byzantine ( 9th century ) monastery church of Panaghia Skripou probably occupies the long-sacred spot.

In mid-century, Orchomenos sheltered the oligarchic exiles who freed Boeotia from Athenian control.

In the fourth century the traditional rivalry with Thebes made Orchomenos an ally of Agesilaus II and Sparta against Thebes, in 395 and again in 394 BC.

The broad plain between Orchomenos and the acropolis of Chaeronea witnessed two battles of major importance in Classical antiquity.
