Aspledon

Aspledon (Ancient Greek: Ἀσπληδών), also called Spledon (Σπληδών), was a city of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad,[1] distant 20 stadia from Orchomenus. The river Melas flowed between the two cities.[2][3][4][5] Strabo says that it was subsequently called Eudeielus or Eudeielos (Εὐδείελος), from its sunny situation;[2] but Pausanias relates that it was abandoned in his time from a want of water.[6] The town is said to have derived its name from Aspledon, a son of Poseidon and the nymph Mideia.[7]

Its site is near modern Pyrgos.[8]

Aspledon was mentioned by Homer in Iliad Book 2:

Men from Aspledon and Minyan Orchomenus
were led by Ascalaphus and Ialmenus, 
Ares' sons. Astyoche bore them in Actor's house,
Azeus' son, to mighty Ares. She, a modest virgin,
went upstairs, where the god lay with her in secret.  
These men brought with them a fleet of thirty ships.
