Methone (Thessaly)

[2][3][4][5] The town is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad as belonging to Philoctetes.

[6] It is also mentioned in the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax as a city in Magnesia, together with Iolcus, Coracae, Spalauthra and Olizon.

[7] Some accept that the town's location is on a hill called Nevestiki (39°19′54″N 23°03′10″E / 39.3316°N 23.0527°E / 39.3316; 23.0527), near the current village of Ano Lechonia,[8][9] where remains of a fortification have been found, but that location has been suggested by others as the site of Coracae.
