History
Thronium or Thronion was an ancient Greek town, the chief town of the Locrians, situated 20 stadia from the coast and 30 stadia from Scarpheia, upon the Boagrius River, which is described by Strabo as sometimes dry, and sometimes flowing with a stream two plethra in breadth. It is mentioned in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad, by Homer, who speaks of it as near the river Boagrius.
