Medeon was a town of ancient Phocis in Greece, destroyed by King Philip II of Macedon along with the other towns of Phocis at the end of the Third Sacred War and never rebuilt. The geographer Strabo placed it on the Crissaean Gulf, some 160 stadia from Boeotia, while the traveler Pausanias located it near Antikyra. Ancient writers said the town was named after Medeon, son of Electra and Pylades.
