Dystos (Greek: Δύστος [ˈðistos]; Latin: Dystus) is the name of a lake, village and former municipality in Euboea, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kymi-Aliveri, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 162.431 km2.[3] The seat of the municipality was Krieza.

History

[edit]

The ancient town Dystus was mentioned by the 4th century BCE historian Theopompus.[4] It is thought to have been founded by the Dryopians.[5] The site of the ancient town is 38°21′19N 24°08′43E / 38.3553°N 24.1453°E / 38.3553; 24.1453. During the 1950s, the power corporation of Greece established a steam power plant close to the lake Dystos at the city of Aliveri. That power plant used lake water for the cooling system.[citation needed]
