History
Methylion was a town and polis (city-state) in ancient Thessaly. Methylion minted coins dated to the 5th and 4th centuries BCE with the legends «ΜΕΘΥ» and «ΜΕΘΥΛΙΕΩΝ». In addition, there is epigraphic evidence dated to 230-220 BCE of a theorodokos of Methylion. Stephanus of Byzantium refers to the town as Methydrion (Μεθύδριον).
