Μελίταια

ΜΕΛΙΤΑΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΔΟΜΟΚΟΣ
Historians enumerate the settlements in the Phthiotic domain that was subject to Achilles, and they begin with the Malians. They name several, and among them Phthiotic Thebes, Echinus, Lamia (near which the Lamian War arose between the Macedonians, under Antipater, and the Athenians, and in this war Leosthenes, a general of the Athenians, fell, and also Leonnatus, the comrade of king Alexander), and also Narthacium, Erineus, Coroneia (bearing the same name as the Boeotian city), Melitaea, Thaumaci, Proerna, Pharsalus, Eretria (bearing the same name as the Euboean city), and Paracheloitae (this, too, bearing the same name as the Aetolian city), for here too, near Lamia, is a river Achelous, on whose banks live the Paracheloitae (Strab. 9,5,10).
