ΠΥΛΗΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΝΑΥΠΑΚΤΟΣ
Pulene: Eth. Pulenios. An ancient town of Aetolia, between the Achelous and the
Evenus, mentioned in the Homeric catalogue of the Grecian ships, is placed by
Pliny on the Corinthian gulf. It would therefore seem to have existed in later
times; although Strabo says that the Aeolians, having removed Pylene higher up,
changed its name into Proschium. The site of Pylene is uncertain.

Proschium (Proschion: Eth. Proschieus), a town of Aetolia, between the Achelous and the Evenus, is said to have been founded by the Aeolians when they removed from the Homeric Pylene higher up into the country. Proschium also laid claim to high antiquity, since it possessed a shrine said to have been dedicated by Hercules to his cupbearer Cyathus, whom he had unintentionally slain. It is clear, from a narrative of Thucydides, that Proschium lay west of Calydon and Pleuron, and at no great distance from the Achelous. Leake places it on the western part of Mt. Zygos (the ancient Aracynthus), near the monastery of St. George between Anatoliko and Anghelokastro. (Strab. x. p. 451; Athen. x. p. 411, a.; Thuc. iii. 102, 106; Steph. B. s.v.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 119.)
