38°28′58″N 22°56′00″E / 38.48288°N 22.93328°E Arne ( Ancient Greek: Ἄρνη) was a town of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer, [1] and probably founded by the Boeotians after their expulsion from ancient Thessaly. Pausanias identified this Boeotian Arne with Chaeroneia, [2] Strabo with Acraephium; [3] and others again supposed that it had been swallowed up by the waters of the Lake Copais. [4] Modern scholars locate Arne with the site of archaeological site of Magoula Balomenou. [5] [6] It may be linked to the ancient citadel of Gla.[ citation needed]
