 The same hill was inhabited also in later periods, as attested by the fortifications of the Classical and Hellenistic periods.Scholars identify the site as ancient Oeantheia, one of the main cities of western Locris, but there is no secure testimony to that identification.However, one has to admit that large part of the building material of the site has been reused, for example at the medieval tower on the foothill of Pitha and at the Church of the Evangelistria (Panagia Polyportou), a Byzantine church of the 10th-11th century A.D.
