Petelia

ΠΕΤΗΛΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΚΑΛΑΒΡΙΑ
Petelia, then, is regarded as the metropolis of the Chones, and has been rather populous down to the present day. It was founded by Philoctetes after he, as the result of a political quarrel, had fled from Meliboea. It has so strong a position by nature that the Samnitae once fortified it against the Thurii.
