Alope (Ancient Greek: Ἀλόπη, romanized: Alópē) was a town of Phthiotis in Ancient Thessaly, placed by Stephanus of Byzantium between Larissa Cremaste and Echinus. There was a dispute among the ancient critics whether this town was the same as the Alope in Homer's Catalog of Ships.[1][2][3] Strabo distinguishes the town from two others of the same name, Alope in the area of Opuntian Locris and Alope in that of Ozolian Locris.[4][5] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World tentatively locate Alope with the modern village of Fournoi in the municipality of Echinaioi.[6]
