Thetidium

ΘΕΤΙΔΟ (Οικισμός) ΦΑΡΣΑΛΑ
  Thetidium (Thetidion, Strab. ix. p. 431; Polyb. xviii. 3, 4; Thetideion, Eurip. Androm. 20; Thestideion, Steph. B. s. v.: Eth. Thetideus), a place in Thessaly, close to Pharsalus, where Flamininus encamped at the end of the second march from Pherae towards Scotussa, before the battle of Cynoscephalae. It derived its name from Thetis, the mother of Achilles, the national hero of the Achaean Phthiotae. Leake places it at or near Magula, on the opposite bank of the Enipeus. (Northern Greece, vol. iv. pp. 472, 473.)
