Locri is a town and comune (municipality) in the province of Reggio Calabria, Calabria, southern Italy. The name derives from the ancient Greek town Locris. Today it is an important administrative and cultural centre on the Ionian Coast, in the Italian Province of Reggio Calabria.
Epizephyrian Locris (Greek Ἐπιζεφύριοι Λοκροί; from ἐπί epi, on, Ζέφυρος (Zephyros), West Wind, and the plural of Λοκρός, Lokros, a Locrian, thus The Western Locrians) was founded about 680 BC on the Italian shore of the Ionian Sea, near modern Capo Zefirio, by the Locrians, apparently by Opuntii (East Locrians) from the city of Opus, but including Ozolae (West Locrians) and Lacedaemonians. Its Latin name, Locri, is the plural of the Latin Locrus, which was used both to mean an inhabitant of Locris and the eponymous ancestor of the Locrians. Strabo suggests that it was the Ozolae who were the main founders.
Due to fierce winds at an original settlement, the settlers moved to the present site. After a century, a defensive wall was built. Outside the city there are several necropoleis, some of which are very large.
Epizephyrian Locris was one of the cities of Magna Graecia. Its renowned lawgiver Zaleucus decreed that anyone who proposed a change in the laws should do so with a noose about their neck, with which they should be hanged if the amendment did not pass. Plato called it The flower of Italy, due to the local peoples' characteristics. Locris was the site of two great sanctuaries, that of Persephone — here worshipped as the protector of fertile marriage — and of Aphrodite.
In the early centuries Locris was allied with Sparta, and later with Syracuse. It founded two colonies of its own, Hipponion and Medma. During the Pyrrhic Wars (280-275 BC) fought between Pyrrhus of Epirus and Rome, Locris accepted a Roman garrison and fought against the Epirote king. However, the city changed sides numerous times during the war. Bronze tablets from the treasury of its Olympeum, a temple to Zeus, record payments to a 'king', generally thought to be Pyrrhus. Despite this, Pyrrhus plundered the temple of Persephone at Locris before his return to Epirus, an event which would live on in the memory of the Greeks of Italy. At the end of the war, perhaps to allay fears about its loyalty, Locris minted coins depicting a seated Rome being crowned by 'Pistis', a goddess personifying good faith and loyalty, and returned to the Roman fold.
The city was abandoned in the fifth century AD. The town was finally destroyed by the Saracens in 915. The survivors fled inland about 10 kilometres (6 mi) to the town Gerace on the slopes of the Aspromonte.

Locri (RC)
La colonia magnogreca di Locri Epizefiri fu fondata verso la seconda metà del VII sec. a.C. da coloni provenienti dalla Locride Opunzia o dalla Locride Ozolia. Fu la prima città d'Europa ad avere un codice di leggi scritte, che la tradizione attribuisce a un forse mitico Zaleuco, ed un importante centro culturale e artistico. I colonizzatori di Locri si stabilirono prima al capo Zefirio, così chiamato perché formava un porto al riparo dei venti dell'Ovest, e vi restarono tre o quattro anni. Poi con l'aiuto dei Siracusani e la collaborazione dei Tarantini, stabilirono la loro città un po' più a nord, sulle pendici della collina Epopi.
