Echedameia (Ancient Greek: Ἐχεδάμεια) was a town of ancient Phocis. It was destroyed by Philip II of Macedon in the Third Sacred War in 346 BCE. It is enumerated by Pausanias between Medeon and Ambrysus.[1] This was the only source about the town until the discovery in 1863 of an inscription of a manumission that mentions the name of the city several times.[2] Its exact location is unknown.
