Νεκρομαντείο - Necromanteion the ancient temple of the dead - Некромантейон древний храм мертвых
The Nekromanteion (Greek: Νεκρομαντεῖον) was an ancient Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. According to tradition, it was located on the banks of the Acheron river in Epirus, near the ancient city of Ephyra. This site was believed by devotees to be the door to Hades, the realm of the dead. The site is at the meeting point of the Acheron, Pyriphlegethon and Cocytus rivers, believed to flow through and water the kingdom of Hades. The meaning of the names of the rivers has been interpreted to be joyless, burning coals and lament.
A site in Mesopotamos, Epirus was proposed as the site of the Necromanteion in 1958, but this identification is now questioned.

The Nekromanteion (Greek: Νεκρομαντεῖον) was an ancient Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. According to tradition, it was located on the banks of the Acheron river in Epirus. This site was believed by devotees to be the door to Hades, the realm of the dead. The site is at the meeting point of the Acheron, Pyriphlegethon and Cocytus rivers, believed to flow through and water the kingdom of Hades. The meaning of the names of the rivers has been interpreted to be joyless, burning coals and lament.
The word Necromanteion means Oracle of the Dead, and the faithful came here to talk with their dead ancestors. Ritual use of the Necromanteion involved elaborate ceremonies wherein celebrants seeking to speak to the dead would start by gathering in the ziggurat-like temple and consuming a meal of broad beans, pork, barley bread, oysters, and a narcotic compound. Following a cleansing ceremony and the sacrifice of sheep, the faithful would descend through a chthonic series of meandric corridors leaving offerings as they passed through a number of iron gates. The nekromanteia would pose a series of questions and chant prayers and the celebrants would then witness the priest arise from the floor and begin to fly about the temple through the use of Aeorema-like theatrical cranes.
Countless beaches, countless choices
Sixty kilometres of sandy beaches and fine swimming await you from Preveza to Parga; Loutsa, Valtos, Lychnos, Ammouthia, Lygia, Kastrosykia…the list continues with a typical mixture; some secluded and practically untouched, some organised with busy beach bars.

NECROMANTEION OF ACHERON
The most famous necromanteion (or nekyomanteion), or the oracle of the dead, from the ancient Greek world is close to the place where the rivers Acheron and Kokytos, the rivers of Hades, meet. The place is located by the town of Mesopotamos, just east of Ammoudia and not too far from Parga. Old sources describe the place as where the dead began their descent to Hades according to the ancient cult of the god of death. The necromancy attracted people who wanted to meet the souls of the dead as they were able to envision the future after leaving the body. These meetings took place in Hades Temple, where many met the souls of the dead, albeit after eating hallucinogenic lupine seeds.
Den mest berømte nekromanteion (eller nekyomanteion), eller de dødes orakel, fra den gamle greske verdenen ligger nær stedet der elvene Acheron og Kokytos, elvene til Hades, møtes. Stedet ligger ved byen Mesopotamos, like øst for Ammoudia og ikke så langt fra Parga. Gamle kilder beskriver stedet som der de døde begynte sin nedstigning til Hades ifølge den eldgamle kulten til dødens gud. Nekromanteionen tiltrakk seg mennesker som ønsket å møte de dødes sjeler, da disse var i stand til å se for seg fremtiden etter å ha forlatt kroppen. Disse møtene foregikk i Hades tempel, hvor mange møtte de dødes sjeler, riktignok etter å ha spist hallusinogene lupifrø.

Νεκρομαντείο Αχέροντα ( Necromanteio of Acheron Hellas)
Το αρχαίο Νεκρομαντείο του Αχέροντα βρίσκεται στο χωριό Μεσοπόταμος, του Νομού Πρεβέζης, στο σημείο όπου κατά τον Όμηρο έσμιγε ο ποταμός Αχέρων με τον Κωκυτό και τον Πυριφλεγέθοντα, στις βορειοδυτικές όχθες της Αχερουσίας Λίμνης, η οποία αποτελούσε την είσοδο του κάτω κόσμου. Αντίθετα με τα γνωστά μαντεία της αρχαιότητας στο Νεκρομαντείο του Αχέροντα δεν έχουμε αίτημα χρησμού αλλά μυσταγωγία επαφής με είδωλα και ήχους νεκρών συγγενικών και φιλικών προσώπων.Σύμφωνα με τον Όμηρο, από αυτό το σημείο κατέβηκε ο Οδυσσέας στον Κάτω Κόσμο για να συναντήσει τον Τειρεσία και να πάρει χρησμό για τον γυρισμό του στην Ιθάκη. Το νεκρομαντείο του Αχέροντα ήταν το πρώτο γνωστό μαντείο που ήταν αφιερωμένο στον θεό του κάτω κόσμου, τον Άδη. Πάνω από όλες τις ερμηνείες και τις σημασίες αυτού του ιερού μέρους αυτό που μας διδάσκει μέσα από τους μύθους και την ιστορία του, είναι η αθανασία της ψυχής .Η ύπαρξή της και μετά τον θάνατο . Αυτή ήταν η βασική διδαχή των μύθων του Αχέροντα και του Νεκρομαντείου...
