Modern Description: Ancient authors claimed Hyperesia was renamed Aigeira, but it is unclear whether the early polis had an urban center and, if so, whether it was at the current site of Aigeira, where the acropolis (signposted) is primarily LH3, with scraps of a Classical sanctuary on top, and the lower city is primarily late 4th century through Roman.
