In ancient times, it was a border city between Boeotia and Attica, and its possession was a continual cause of dispute between the two countries; but at last it came into the final possession of Athens, and is always alluded to under the Roman empire as an Attic town.

  Oropos and Euboea in the Early Iron Age   (Site not responding. Last check: )
At Oropos, where excavations are coming to a momentary close and work is concentrating in the study for publication of the material, we have recognized throughout the past years the strong connections - but also the differences- of the Geometric and Archaic settlement with the opposite Euboean coast, and with Eretria and Lefkandi in particular.
Thus, the goal is not to have a Symposium aiming towards a wider public, though specialists and students interested with the archaeology of Early Iron Age Greece are welcomed to attend and participate in the discussions.
Besides the Round Table, an Exhibition with 140 finds from the Early Iron Age site of Oropos will be organised in the premises of the University of Thessaly.

In the spring, the Eretrians, aided by the Boeotians, who were enemies of Athens, succeeded in liberating Oropos.
Until this point, control of Oropos had allowed the Athenians to dominate all of Euboea and to force the island's merchandise to pass through that point of exchange.
Consequently, the Eretrians had reason to hope that the Lacedaemonians, whom they had long been urging to intervene, would finally find it possible to release all of Euboea from Athenian imperial control.

The term Cyprianites signifies the parasynagogue and heresy formed in the 1970’s around the person of the so-called Metropolitan of Oropos and Filii, Cyprian - a schismatic from the ranks of the Florinite Greek Old-Calendarists.
The vain-glorious archimandrite Cyprian began his episcopal ‘career’ by organizing an uncanonical and secret ordination of himself and others in an attempted takeover of the leadership of the Greek Old-Calendarists in 1979, for which he and the others were deposed by the Florinite Synod.
