Antron

Antron (Ancient Greek: Ἀντρών)[1][2] or Antrones (Ἀντρῶνες)[3] was a town and polis (city-state)[4] of ancient Thessaly in the district Achaea Phthiotis, at the entrance of the Maliac Gulf, and opposite Oreus in Euboea.

It is mentioned in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad as one of the cities of Protesilaus,[1] and also in the Homeric hymn to Demeter as under the protection of that goddess.

[5] It probably owed its long existence to the composition of its rocks, which furnished some of the best millstones in Greece; hence the epithet of πετρήεις ("maritime") given to it in the hymn to Demeter.

Off Antron was a sunken rock (ἕρμα ὔφαλον) called the Ὄνος Ἀντρῶνος, or mill-stone of Antron.
