Trichonium

Trichonium or Trichonion ({{langx|grc|Τριχώνιον}}) was a town of ancient Aetolia, from which Lake Trichonis derived its name. William Martin Leake identified its location in the 19th century south of the lake at a place called Gavala (Gavalou). Strabo mentions Trichonium along with Stratus as situated in a fertile plain.{{Cite Strabo|x. p.450}}{{Cite Polybius|5.7}}{{Cite Stephanus|s.v.}} It was evidently a place of importance, and several natives of this town are mentioned in history.{{Cite Polybius|4.3, 5.13, 17.10}}{{Cite Pausanias|2|37|3}}

Its site is located near the modern Gavalou.{{Cite Barrington|55}}{{Cite DARE|25180}}
