==Wikipedia EN==
The [[Abantes]] or [[Abantians]] (Greek: [[Ἄβαντες]], Ábantes) were an [[ancient]] [[Greek]] [[tribe]]. Their home was [[Euboea]]. 

The Abantes were a Proto-Greek tribe, which settled in the island of Euboea. When the Trojan War concluded, the Abantes wandered around for a while, and finally settled in the region of [[Thesprotia]]. Herodotus states that many Abantes from Euboea had established colonies in [[Chios]] and Asia Minor. In the Iliad, Homer mentions the Abantes among the Greek allies in the Trojan War. Their leader was [[Elephenor]] the son of [[Chalkodon]]. The Trojan warrior [[Agenor]] killed Elephenor.
