ΣΑΛΓΑΝΕΥΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Salganeus; (Liv. uses the Gr. ace. Salganea) Eth. Salganios. A town
upon the eastern coast of Boeotia, and between Chalcis and Anthedon, is said to
have derived its name from a Boeotian, who served as pilot to the Persian fleet
of Xerxes, and was put to death upon suspicion of treachery, because no outlet
appeared to the channel of the Euripus; but the Persian commander, having found
out his mistake, erected a monument on the spot, where the town was afterwards
built. (Strab. ix. p. 403; Dicaearch. Stat. Graec. p. 19; Steph. B. s. v.). Salganeus
was considered an important place from its commanding the northern entrance to
the Euripus. (Diod. xix. 77; Liv. xxxv. 37, 46, 51.) The remains of the town stand
directly under the highest summit of Mount Messapium, in the angle where the plain
terminates, and upon the side of a small port. The citadel occupied a height rising
from the shore, 90 yards in length, and about 50 broad, and having a flat summit
sloping from the SE. towards the sea. There are remains of walls on the crest
of the summit, and on the SE. side of the height. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol.
ii. p. 267.)
