Calliarus or Kalliaros ( Ancient Greek: Καλλίαρος) [1] was a town in Eastern Locris mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad. [2] It was uninhabited in Strabo's time, but its name was still attached to a tract of ground on account of the fertility of the latter. [3] According to Greek mythology, the town's eponymous founder was Kalliaros, a son of Laonome and Hodoedocus. [4]
Its site is tentative located near Skala Atalantis. [5] [6]
