Tamynae or Tamynai ( Ancient Greek: Ταμύναι), or Tamyna (Ταμύνα), [1] was a town of ancient Euboea in the territory of Eretria, at the foot of Mount Cotylaeum, with a temple of Apollo, said to have been built by Admetus. [2] [3] It was taken by the Persians, when they attacked Eretria in 490 BCE, [4] but it is chiefly memorable for the victory which the Athenians, under Phocion, gained here over Callias of Chalcis in 350 BCE. [5]
Its site is located near the modern village of Avlonari. [6] [7]
