Remove ads

Tamynae or Tamynai (Ancient Greek: Ταμύναι), or Tamyna (Ταμύνα),[1] was a town of ancient Euboea in the territory of Eretria, at the foot of Mount Cotylaeum, with a temple of Apollo, said to have been built by Admetus.[2][3] It was taken by the Persians, when they attacked Eretria in 490 BCE,[4] but it is chiefly memorable for the victory which the Athenians, under Phocion, gained here over Callias of Chalcis in 350 BCE.[5]

Its site is located near the modern village of Avlonari.[6][7]
