ΟΙΧΑΛΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΙΤΩΛΟΑΚΑΡΝΑΝΙΑ
Oichalia: Eth. Oichalieus. In Aetolia. (Strab. x. p. 448.) Each of
these cities was considered by the respective inhabitants as the residence of
the celebrated Eurytus, who was conquered by Hercules, and the capture of whose
city was the subject of an epic poem called Oichalias halosis, which was ascribed
to Homer or Cresphylus. Hence among the early poets there was a difference of
statement upon the subject. The Messenian Oechalia was called the city of Eurytus
in the Iliad (ii. 596) and the Odyssey (xxi. 13), and this statement was followed
by Pherecydes (ap.Schol. ad Soph. Trach. 354) and Pausanias (iv. 2. §3). The Euboean
city was selected by the writer of the poem on the Capture of Oechalia (Schol.
ap. Soph. l. c.), by Hecataeus (ap. Paus. l. c.), and by Strabo (x. p. 448). The
Thessalian city is mentioned as the residence of Eurytus in another passage of
the Iliad (ii. 730); and K. 0. Muller supposes that this was the city of the original
fable. (Dorians, vol. i. p. 426, seq., transl.)
