Hippola

Hippola (Ancient Greek: Ἱππόλα) was a town of ancient Laconia, a little north-west of the promontory of Taenarum, in ruins in the time of Pausanias (2nd century). It contained a temple of Athena Hippolaitis.[1]

For the genus of moths, see Syntomeida.

Its site is located near the modern Kipoula.[2][3]
