Methone (Thessaly)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Methone (Greek: Μεθώνη, Methṓnē) was an ancient Greek city-state[1] on the Pagasetic Gulf of Magnesia in ancient Thessaly.[2][3][4][5] The town is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad as belonging to Philoctetes.[6] It is also mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax as a city in Magnesia, together with Iolcus, Coracae, Spalauthra and Olizon.[7]

Some accept that the town's location is on a hill called Nevestiki (39°19′54″N 23°03′10″E), near the current village of Ano Lechonia,[8][9] where remains of a fortification have been found, but that location has been suggested by others as the site of Coracae.[10]
