38°40′31″N 22°34′52″E Tithronium or Tithronion (Ancient Greek: Τιθρώνιον),^[1] or Tethronium or Tethronion (Τεθρώνιον), was a frontier town of ancient Phocis, on the side of Doris. Livy, who calls it Tritonon, describes it as a town of Doris,^[2] but all other ancient writers place it in Phocis. During the Greco-Persian Wars, it was destroyed by the army of Xerxes I together with the other Phocian towns in 480 BCE.^[3] It is placed by Pausanias in the plain at the distance of 15 stadia from Amphicleia.^[4]

Its site has been located at a place called Palaiokastro (old castle).^[5][6]
