Phalanna
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For".
Phalanna (Template:Langx), was a town and polis (city-state)[1] of the Perrhaebi in ancient Thessaly, situated on the left bank of the Peneius, southwest of Gonnus. Strabo says that the Homeric Orthe became the acropolis of Phalanna;[2] but in the lists of Pliny Orthe and Phalanna occur as two distinct towns.[3] Phalanna was said to have derived its name from a daughter of Tyro.[4] It was written Phalannus in Ephorus, and was called Hippia by Hecataeus of Miletus.[4] Phalanna is mentioned by Livy as near Mylae and Gyrton during the Third Macedonian War between the Romans and Perseus of Macedon in 171 BCE.[5]
The site of Phalanna is in the modern community of Damasi (Δαμάσι)[6] near the village of Damasouli (Δαμασούλι).[7]
