Tithronium or Tithronion (Ancient Greek: Τιθρώνιον),[1] or Tethronium or Tethronion (Τεθρώνιον), was a frontier town of ancient Phocis, on the side of Doris.
Livy, who calls it Tritonon, describes it as a town of Doris,[2] but all other ancient writers place it in Phocis.
During the Greco-Persian Wars, it was destroyed by the army of Xerxes I together with the other Phocian towns in 480 BCE.
[3] It is placed by Pausanias in the plain at the distance of 15 stadia from Amphicleia.
[4] Its site has been located at a place called Palaiokastro (old castle).
