ΤΑΜΥΝΕΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΕΥΒΟΙΑ
Tamunai, Tamuna, Eth. Tamuneus. A town of Euboea in the territory
of Eretria, at the foot of Mt. Cotylaeum, with a temple of Apollo, said to have
been built by Admetus. (Strab. x. p. 447; Steph. B. s. v. Tamuna, Kotulaion.)
It was taken by the Persians, when they attacked Eretria in B.C. 490 (Herod. vi.
101), but it is chiefly memorable for the victory which the Athenians, under Phocion,
gained here over Callias of Chalcis, B.C. 350. (Aesch. c. Ctes. § § 85 - 88, de
Fals. Leg. 180; Dem. de Pac. 5; Plat. Phoc. 12.) Leake places Tamynae at the village
of Ghymno, at the foot of a high, mountain, which he supposes to be the ancient
Cotylaeum (Ancient Greece, vol. ii. p. 439); but Ulrichs regards Aliveri, where
there are several ancient remains, as the site of Tamynae.
