Pandosia was an ancient Greek city of Epirus. Together with the other Elean colonies Bucheta and Elatea it was a city of the Cassopaeans, who were a sub-tribe of the Thesprotians. It was located south of the river Acheron.
Pandosia was the name of several ancient cities, including:
- Pandosia (Epirus), in Epirus, Greece
- Pandosia (Bruttium), in Bruttium (now Acri or Castrolibero ),Italy
- Pandosia (Lucania), in Lucania (now Tursi), Italy
Pandosia was an ancient city of Bruttium (now Calabria), Italy. According to Livy it was situated near the border between Bruttium and Lucania (now Basilicata). Strabo writes it was located in Bruttium, a "little above" Consentia (modern Cosenza). The Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World places the site of the city in the vicinity of Cosenza, but the village Acri has been suggested as a more precise location.
Pandosia ( Greek: ) was an ancient town of Lucania (now Basilicata), Italy, situated near Heraclea. It has often been confounded with Pandosia in Bruttium; but the distinct existence of a Lucanian town of the name is clearly established by two authorities. Plutarch describes Pyrrhus as encamping in the plain between Pandosia and Heraclea, with the river Siris (modern Sinni) in front of him; and the celebrated Tabulae Heracleenses repeatedly refer to the existence of a town of the name in the immediate neighborhood of Heraclea. From these notices we may infer that it was situated at a very short distance from Heraclea, but apparently further inland; and its site has been fixed with some probability at a spot called Santa Maria d'Anglona, about 11 km from the sea, and 6.5 km from Heraclea. The medieval city of Anglona was a successor to Heraclea, and was an episcopal see down to a late period of the Middle Ages, but is now wholly deserted.
