Medeon (Ancient Greek: Μεδεών) was a town of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.[1] Medeon is described by Strabo as a dependency of Haliartus, and situated near Onchestus, at the foot of Mount Phoenicium, from which position it was afterwards called Phoenicis.[2][3]
The site of Medeon is located near modern Davlosi (Davlosis).[4][5]
