EFPALION (Ancient city) DORIDA
(Eupalion, Strab., Thuc.; in some edits. of Thuc. written Eupolion;
Eupalium, Liv.; Eupalia, Steph. B. s. v.; Eupalia, Plin. iv. 3. s. 4: Eth. Eupalieus).
One of the chief towns of Western Locris, situated near the sea, and
between Naupactus and Oeantheia. (Strab. ix., x.). It was the place chosen by
Demosthenes for the deposit of his plunder, in B.C. 426; and it was shortly afterwards
taken by Eurylochus, the Spartan commander, along with Oeneon. (Thuc. iii. 96,
102.) After the time of Alexander the Great, Eupalium fell into the hands of the
Aetolians; and Philip, when he made a descent upon the Aetolian coast in B.C.
207, landed at Erythrae, which is described by Livy as near Eupalium. (Liv. xxviii.
8.) This Erythrae was probably the port of Eupalium. Leake supposes Eupalium to
have stood in the plain of Marathia, opposite to the islands Trisonia or Trazonia,
where some ruins of an ancient city still exist on the eastern side of the plain,
at no great distance from the sea.

ERYTHRES (Ancient city) DORIDA
Erythrae. A town of the Locri Ozolae, probably the harbour of Eupalium. (Liv. xxviii. 8; Steph. B. s.v.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. ii. p. 618.)
INEON (Ancient city) FOKIDA
A town of the Locri Ozolae, east of Naupactus, possessing a port and
a sacred enclosure of the Nemeian Zeus, where Hesiod was said to have been killed.
It was from this place that Demosthenes set out on his expedition into Aetolia,
in B.C. 426, and to which he returned with the remnant of his forces. Leake supposes
that the territory of Oeneon was separated from that of Naupactus by the river
Morno, and that Oeneon perhaps stood at Mugula, or near the fountain Ambla.

INEON (Ancient city) FOKIDA
Probably a port, the point of departure of Demosthenes' expedition
of 426 and, after its failure, a rallying point for the survivors. It was then
captured by Eurylochos. On its outskirts there was a Sanctuary of Zeus Nemeios
where tradition has it that Hesiod was murdered. Its location is undetermined
(Magoula? or Glypha).
