|wketx=[[Thyron]] (Ancient Greek: [[Θρύον]]), sometimes Latinized as [[Thryum]], or [[Thryoessa]] ([[Θρυόεσσα]]) was a town in [[Triphylia]] in ancient [[Elis]], mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the [[Iliad]], where the town is noted to be in the dominions of [[Nestor]]. The town is also noted in the Homeric Hymn to [[Apollo]]. Later in the Iliad, the poet describes [[Thyron]] was at the ford of the river [[Alpheius]]. In the same passage, Homer calls the town Thryoessa, places it upon a lofty hill, and relates how it withstood a siege by the Epeii during their war against the Eleans. [[Strabo]] identified Thyron with the later [[Epitalium]]; but the identity is uncertain. | |||
