Azorus

Azorus, with the two neighbouring towns of Pythium and Doliche, formed a Tripolis.

[3] During the Roman–Seleucid War, the Tripolis was ravaged by an army of the Aetolian League in the year 191 BCE.

[6] In the year 169 BCE troops arrived from the Roman consul Quintus Marcius Philippus who camped between Azorus and Doliche.

[2] The site of Azorus is the palaiokastro (old fort) at the modern village of Azoros.

[9][10] According to the 5th-century grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria the town was named after the mythological Azorus, helmsman of the Argo.
