Presentation of Orchomenus

Orchomenus, the setting for many early Greek myths, is best known today as a rich archaeological site in Boeotia, Greece, that was inhabited from the Neolithic through the Hellenistic periods. It is often referred to as "Minyan Orchomenus", to distinguish it from a later city of the same name in Arcadia.

Flag of Orchomenus

There are two flag variants of Orchomenos, both showing an emblem with two men riding a goat, one in blue, one in brown.
