This book presents the results of a major project carried out by a team from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the 14th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities at Lamia. The book gives a full picture of a extensive area of Greece known as Epicnemidian Locris, on which very little has been studied and published in the past. Its relevance in historical times was due to its natural environment and mainly on the pass at Thermopylae, which marked the physical boundary between central/northern Greece and the south, being the scene of repeated conflicts. The book offers a a complete picture of what Epicnemidian Locris was like in the past: its geography, topography, frontiers and the ancient settlements of the region.

"[C]et ouvrage collectif d'une grande qualité constitue une bonne synthèse de l'état de la recherche sur une région injustement délaissée. Son caractère exhaustif et scientifiquement solide ne peut que l'imposer comme point de départ de toute étude future sur la Locride orientale et intéressera au-delà tous les chercheurs concernés par la géographie historique ou les prospections de surface." Nicolas Kyriakidis, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.04.15.
