Stiris (Greek: Στῖρις) or Steiris (Στείρις) was a town of ancient Phocis situated 120 stadia from Chaeroneia, the road between the two places running across the mountains. The inhabitants of Stiris claimed descent from an Athenian colony of the Attic demus of Steiria, led by Peteus, when he was driven out of Attica by Aegeus. Pausanias describes the city as situated upon a rocky summit, with only a few wells, which did not supply water fit for drinking, which the inhabitants obtained from a fountain, four stadia below the city, to which fountain there was a descent excavated among the rocks. The city contained in the time of Pausanias a temple of Demeter Stiritis, made of crude brick, containing two statues, one of Pentelic marble, the other of ancient workmanship, covered with bandages.

  • Estiris (en llatí Stiris, en grec antic Στῖρις) era una ciutat de la Fòcida, situada a 120 estadis de Queronea vora la via que travessa les muntanyes que hi ha entre els dos llocs. Els seus habitants deien ser descendents de colons atenencs de Steiria, un dels demos de l'Àtica, que es van establir allí sota la direcció de Peteu quan Egeu el va expulsar de l'Àtica. Pausànias descriu la ciutat, i diu que estava situada sobre un cim rocós, i que només tenia alguns pous d'aigua no apta per beure. L'agafaven d'una font que es trobava a 4 estadis més avall d'Estiris, per on baixaven utilitzant un camí excavat a la roca. Al segle II, Pausànias hi va veure un temple dedicat a Demèter, de sobrenom Estirites (Στιρίτης), construït amb tova sense coure, que tenia dues estàtues, una de marbre pentèlic que portava dues torxes i una altra, molt més antiga, embolicada amb cintes. Estiris va ser una de les ciutats de la Fòcida destruïdes per Filip II de Macedònia durant la guerra Sagrada però va ser reconstruïda, i en temps de Pausànias estava habitada. Les seves ruïnes corresponen a la moderna Paleá khora. (ca)

Stiris was one of the Phocian cities destroyed by Philip II of Macedon at the close of the Third Sacred War; but it was afterwards rebuilt and was inhabited at the time of the visit of Pausanias. An inscription is preserved dating from the 2nd century BCE regarding a political and religious union (sympoliteia) between Medeon and Stiris, in which both cities had the approval of the . The agreement was inscribed on a stele inside the temple of Athena Cranea, in the city of . The stele preserves the name of the League's strategos, Zeuxis; in addition a sealed copy was to be guarded by a citizen of Lilaea named Trason and there were three persons who acted as witnesses from different Phocian cities: Tithorea, Elateia, and Lilaea. The union included the sanctuaries, the territory, the polis and the ports. From the formalization of the treaty the Medeonites will be with the Stirisians in conditions of equality and will have assemblies and common magistrates. It is not a complete merger of both cities: Stiris is the main city but the citizens of Medeon could designate a who would make sacrifices according to the law of Medeon and who would have judicial competency together with the archons of Stiris and could vote. Those who have been magistrates in Medeon will not be required to be so in Stiris unless they decided voluntarily. The administration of the Medeonite sanctuaries will be carried out according to the law of Medeon, and the territory will be common. The location of ancient Stiris is near the modern village of Steiri, where its remains are found on a hill called Palaiochora, located southwest of Livadeia and southeast of Distomo. (en)
