Oeantheia

Southern Europe

Oeantheia, also known as Oeanthe, was an important town of the Ozolian Locrians in central Greece, situated at the western entrance of the Gulf of Corinth. During the Peloponnesian War its inhabitants were among several towns forced to provide hostages to the Spartan army in 426 BC, and the ancient geographer Pausanias described it as the only coastal city remaining in Locris besides Naupactus, noting temples to Aphrodite and Artemis there. Its site is generally located near the modern town of Tolofon.
