(anc. geog.), a town of Boeotia, over against Chalcis of Euboea, on the Euripus, where that strait is narrowest; and which were sometimes joined together by a mole or causeway (Diodorus Siculus): a craggy situation (Homer, Nonnus); and a village of the Tanagraei (Strabo), distant from Chalcis three miles: a harbour famous for the rendezvous of a thousand ships under Agamemnon previous to the Trojan expedition (Livy, Virgil, Pliny). Now entirely destroyed.
