Aspledon

Aspledon (Ancient Greek: Ἀσπληδών), also called Spledon (Σπληδών), was a city of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad,[1] distant 20 stadia from Orchomenus.

[2][3][4][5] Strabo says that it was subsequently called Eudeielus or Eudeielos (Εὐδείελος), from its sunny situation;[2] but Pausanias relates that it was abandoned in his time from a want of water.

[6] The town took its name from Aspledon, a son of Poseidon and the nymph Mideia.
