PETELIA (Ancient city) CALABRIA
A Pelasgian people, one of the three peoples which
inhabited Epirus, were at an earlier period in possession of the whole of the
country, but subsequently dwelt along the coast from the river Thyamis to the
Acroceraunian promontory, which district was therefore called Chaonia. By the
poets, Chaonius is used as equivalent to Epiroticus (Epeirotikos).
