PYLENE
PYLE´NE (Πυλήνη: Eth. Πυλήνιος), an ancient town of Aetolia, between the Achelous and the Evenus, mentioned in the Homeric catalogue of the Grecian ships, is placed by Pliny on the Corinthian gulf. It would therefore seem to have existed in later times; although Strabo says that the Aeolians, having removed Pylene higher up, changed its name into Proschium. The site of Pylene is uncertain. (Hom. It 2.639; Plin. Nat. 4.3; scopulosa Pylene, Stat. Theb. 4.102; Steph. B. s. v.)
Pylēné
(Πυλήνη). An ancient town of Aetolia near the coast, mentioned by Homer. The Aeolians who took Pylené afterwards removed higher up into the country and founded Proschium.
