Delium

Delium: "Delion" redirects here. For the bicycle racer, see Gilles Delion.

Delium (also called Delion Greek: Δήλιον Dêlion, Latin: Delium) was a Greek city^[1] famous for its important temple dedicated to Apollo, similar to the one in Delos, thence its name. Founded by colonists of Tanagra, it was located approximately 2 km from Oropos and 8 km from Tanagra.

There were two important battles in Delium:

In the first battle, called the Battle of Delium, the Athenians were defeated by the Boeotians in 424 BC. This was part of the Peloponnesian War.

In a second battle, the Romans were defeated by Antiochus III the Great in 192.
