Histoire
Medeon was a town of ancient Phocis, destroyed by Philip II of Macedon along with the other Phocian towns at the termination of the Third Sacred War, and never again restored. Strabo places it on the Crissaean Gulf, at the distance of 160 stadia from Boeotia; and Pausanias says that it was near Antikyra. According to ancient writers it was named after Medeon the son of Electra and Pylades.
