[266] Ἐλεών (or “Ἑλεών”) in Boiotia, 2.500. For the migration southwards of the legend of Amyntor — doubtless in consequence of the displacement of the Boiotians through the Thessalian invasion — see 9.447. Ptolemy of Askalon held that this Eleon was a Thessalian town, distinct from the Boiotian; but this is a mere figment to explain the obvious discrepancy. Ἀμύντορος: gen. with “δόμον”.
