History
Pedieis was one of the Phocian towns destroyed by Xerxes I during the Greco-Persian Wars. From the order in which it stands in the enumeration of Herodotus, it appears to have stood near the Cephissus, in some part of the plain between Tithorea and Elateia. It is enumerated among the towns in Phocis whose territory was sacked n 395 BCE by the Boeotians.
