THAVMAKIA (Ancient city) AGIA
Thaumakia: Eth. Thaumakieus. A town of Magnesia in Thessaly, one of
the four cities whose ships in the Trojan War were commanded by Philoctetes. It
was said to have been founded by Thaumacus, the son of Poeas. Leake supposes it
to be represented by the paleokastro of Askiti, one of the villages on the Magnesian
coast. This Thaumacia must not be confounded with Thaumaci in Phthiotis mentioned
above.
