Town in the interior of Triphylia in ancient Elis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
37°32′26″N 21°45′11″E Hypana (Ancient Greek: Ὕπανα)[1] or Hypaneia (Ὑπάνεια)[2] was a town in the interior of Triphylia in ancient Elis. It was taken by Philip V of Macedon in the Social War.[3] Its inhabitants had been transferred to Elis when Strabo wrote. Hypana is mentioned along with Typaneae near the rivers Dalion and Acheron, tributaries of Alpheus.[4] Both these towns must have been situated in the mountains of Triphylia.
Most modern scholars identify its location with a site near the modern town of Platiana,[5][6][7] though other writers disagree, and propose other locations.[8]
