Trichonium or Trichonion (Ancient Greek: Τριχώνιον) was a town of ancient Aetolia, from which Lake Trichonis derived its name.
William Martin Leake identified its location in the 19th century south of the lake at a place called Gavala (Gavalou).
Strabo mentions Trichonium along with Stratus as situated in a fertile plain.
[1][2][3] It was evidently a place of importance, and several natives of this town are mentioned in history.
