Pylene

Pylene (Ancient Greek: Πυλήνη) was a town of ancient Aetolia, between the Acheolous and the Evenus, mentioned in Homer's Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad,^[1] is placed by Pliny the Elder on the Corinthian Gulf.^[2] It would therefore seem to have existed in later times. Strabo says that the Aeolians who took Pylene afterwards removed higher up into the country and founded Proschium.^[3]

Its site is tentatively located near the modern Magoula/Aitolikon.^[4][5]
