Proschium

Southern Europe

Proschium, also called Proschion, was a town of ancient Aetolia between the Achelous and Evenus rivers, said to have been founded by Aeolians relocated from the Homeric town of Pylene further inland. It also claimed great antiquity through a shrine said to have been dedicated by Heracles to his cupbearer Cyathus, whom he had killed unintentionally. A passage of Thucydides makes clear that Proschium lay west of Calydon and Pleuron, not far from the Achelous.
