Conope

Conope or Konope (Ancient Greek: Κωνώπη) and later, Arsinoe (Ἀρσινόη) or Arsinoia (Ἀρσινοί̈α or Ἀρσινοΐα), was a city of ancient Aetolia, in Greece, near the eastern bank of the Achelous River, and 20 stadia from the ford of this river (approximately 1.9 to 2.6 miles (3.1 to 4.2 km).

It was only a village, until it was enlarged by Arsinoe, the wife and sister of Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Near this town the river Cyathus flowed into the Achelous from the lake Hyria, which is also called Conope by Antoninus Liberalis.

[1] Its site is located near the modern village of Angelokastro (Angelókastro, Anghelokastro) in Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece.
