Report
Orkos, Megara. The Γ’ΕΠΚΑ reports the discovery of a sixth-century BC underground water channel which brought water to the city of Megara. The tunnel had ventilation/maintenance shafts. It supplied a water channel in the city centre which fed the Fountain House of Theagenes (constructed in the early fifth century).
