Tamynae

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]
