ΜΥΟΝΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΑΡΝΑΣΣΙΔΑ
or Myon (Muonia, Muon, Eth. Muoneus). A town of the Locri Ozolae,
situated on the most difficult of the passes leading from aetolia into Locris.
(Thuc. iii. 101.) Pausanias describes it as a small town (polisma), situated upon
a hill 30 stadia from Amphissa inland, containing a grove and an altar of the
gods called Meilichii, and above the town a temple of Poseidon. (Paus. x. 38.
§ 8, comp. vi. 19. § 4.) Leake (Northern Greece, vol. ii. p. 592) and other authorities
place Myonia at Aghia Thymia, or Athymia, a small village, containing Hellenic
remains, distant 1 1/2 hour from Salona (Amphissa) on the road to Galaxidhi on
the coast; but this cannot be correct, as, according to the passage in Pausanias,
Myonia lay further inland than Amphissa. (Ano men huper Amphisses pros epeiron
Muonia . . . Outoi (including the Muoneis) men de huperoikousin Amphisses, epi
thalasses de Oiantheia). Accordingly Kiepert places Myonia in his map N. of Amphissa,
on the road from the latter place to Cytinium in Doris.
