(For the ancient city in Perrhaebia, Thessaly, see Metropolis (Perrhaebia).) Metropolis (Ancient Greek: Μητρόπολις) was a town and polis (city-state) of Histiaeotis (or of Thessaliotis) in ancient Thessaly, described by Stephanus of Byzantium as a town in Upper Thessaly. Strabo says that Metropolis was founded by three insignificant towns, but that a larger number was afterwards added, among which was Ithome. He further says, that Ithome was within a quadrangle, formed by the four cities Tricca, Metropolis, Pelinnaeum, and Gomphi. The position of Metropolis is also determined by its being on Caesar's march from Gomphi to Pharsalus.

  • Metròpolis de l'Hestieòtide (en grec antic Μητρόπολις) era una ciutat de Tessàlia, al districte d'Hestieòtide. Esteve de Bizanci diu que era una ciutat de l'Alta Tessàlia.

  • Metròpolis de l'Hestieòtide (en grec antic Μητρόπολις) era una ciutat de Tessàlia, al districte d'Hestieòtide. Esteve de Bizanci diu que era una ciutat de l'Alta Tessàlia. Estrabó diu que la ciutat es va fundar per la unió de tres poblets petits, i desp`rés se n'hi van afegir d'altres, entre elles la ciutat d'Itome. Diu que Itome es trobava dins d'un quadrangle format per les ciutats de Metròpolis, Tricca, Pelinna i Gomfi. També es pot situar Metròpolis perquè va ser un lloc per on va passar Juli Cèsar quan va anar de Gomfi a Farsàlia. Titus Livi diu que la ciutat va ser ocupada pel cònsol romà Tit Quinti Flaminí l'any 198 aC, quan va passar per aquest lloc en la seva marxa sobre Tessàlia durant la Segona Guerra Macedònica. El seu territori era veí de Cièrion (l'antiga Arne), amb la qual sovint hi va haver conflictes de límits. La ciutat encara la menciona al segle VI el geògraf Hièrocles, i va continuar existint durant l'edat mitjana amb el nom de (Νέαι Πάτραι, "Néai Pàtrai"). En queden restes en un lloc anomenat Paleókastro, a uns 8 km al sud de Karditsa. Es pot veure que la ciutat tenia una forma circular i que la ciutadella, de la que en queden unes parets, també era circular. (ca)
  • Metrópolis (en griego, Μητρόπολις) es el nombre de una antigua ciudad griega de Tesalia. Estrabón, que dice que se había formado por la unión de varias poblaciones, la sitúa en la llamada Alta Tesalia, cerca de la ciudad de Itome —que pertenecía al territorio de Metrópolis— y no lejos de Gonfos, Trica y Pelineo. El geógrafo añade que en Metrópolis se seguía el llamado rito Onturio que le fue transmitido por una de las ciudades que participó en la unión para formar Metrópolis. En este rito, en honor a Afrodita, se permitía el sacrificio de cerdos.​ Metrópolis fue escenario de enfrentamientos durante la segunda guerra macedónica y durante la Guerra romano-siria. En la segunda guerra macedónica, Los etolios que combatían contra Filipo V de Macedonia devastaron los campos en torno a Metrópolis pero los habitantes de la ciudad la defendieron detrás de sus murallas y los etolios no pudieron tomarla.​ En la Guerra romano-siria, Metrópolis sí fue tomada por el ejército de Antíoco III el Grande, junto a la ciudad de Cierio y fortalezas adyacentes.​ Poco después, en el año 191 a. C., el cónsul romano Manio Atilio, en su avance por territorio tesalio, recibió delegados de las ciudades de Metrópolis y de Cierio que ofrecieron la rendición de sus ciudades. Esto ocurrió poco tiempo antes de la Batalla de las Termópilas.​ Se localiza cerca del lugar donde actualmente hay una población moderna que conserva el antiguo nombre de Metrópolis. (es)
  • (For the ancient city in Perrhaebia, Thessaly, see Metropolis (Perrhaebia).) Metropolis (Ancient Greek: Μητρόπολις) was a town and polis (city-state) of Histiaeotis (or of Thessaliotis) in ancient Thessaly, described by Stephanus of Byzantium as a town in Upper Thessaly. Strabo says that Metropolis was founded by three insignificant towns, but that a larger number was afterwards added, among which was Ithome. He further says, that Ithome was within a quadrangle, formed by the four cities Tricca, Metropolis, Pelinnaeum, and Gomphi. The position of Metropolis is also determined by its being on Caesar's march from Gomphi to Pharsalus. Livy relates how the town repulsed an attack by the Aetolians after the retreat of Philip V of Macedon (198 BCE). Whilst the Aetolians were devastating the fields round Metropolis the townsmen who had mustered in force to defend their walls inflicted a repulse upon them. The Aetolians then continued on to attack nearby Callithera. It was taken by Titus Quinctius Flamininus on his descending into this part of Thessaly, after the Battle of the Aous. We learn from an inscription that the territory of Metropolis adjoined that of Cierium (the ancient Arne), and that the adjustment of their boundaries was a frequent subject of discussion between the two peoples. Metropolis is mentioned in the sixth century by Hierocles. The remains of Metropolis are at the small village about 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Karditsa formerly called Paleokastro, but since renamed Mitropoli (Μητρόπολη) to reflect its association with the historic town. The city was of a circular form, and in the centre of the circle are the vestiges of a circular citadel, part of the wall of which still exists in the yard of the village church, where is a collection of the sculptured or inscribed remains found upon the spot. Among other sculptures noticed by William Martin Leake during his visit in the early nineteenth century, one in low relief, representing a figure seated upon a rock, in long drapery, and a mountain rising in face of the figure, at the foot of which there is a man in a posture of adoration, while on the top of the mountain there are other men, one of whom holds a hog in his hands. Leake conjectured with great probability that the seated figure represents the Aphrodite of Metropolis, to whom Strabo says that hogs were offered in sacrifice. Metropolis minted silver coins dated to c. 400-344 BCE bearing the legends «ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟ[ΛΙΤΩΝ]» and «ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛ». (en)
