ΚΑΛΛΙΠΟΛΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΔΩΡΙΔΑ
Callipolis. Kallion, Kallipolis, Eth. Kallieus. The chief town of
the Callienses (hoi Kallies, Thuc. iii. 96), was situated on the eastern confines
of Aetolia, on one of the heights of Mt. Oeta, and on the road from the valley
of the Spercheus to Aetolia. It was by this road that the Gauls marched into Aetolia
in B.C. 279, when they surprised and destroyed Callium, and committed the most
horrible atrocities on the inhabitants. (Paus. x. 22.) Calliumn also lay on the
road from Pyra (the summit of Oeta, where Hercules was supposed to have burnt
himself) to Naupactus, and it was divided by Mt. Corax from lower Aetolia. (Liv.
xxx. 31.)
