Alalcomenae, also known as Alalkomenai, was a town in ancient Boeotia in Greece, situated at the foot of Mount Tilphossium a little east of Coroneia and near Lake Copais. It was celebrated for the worship of Athena, who was said to have been born there, and its temple to the goddess stood a short distance from the town on the Triton River. Strabo also records that the tomb of the seer Teiresias and a temple of Tilphossian Apollo stood just outside the town.
