Phylace

Phylace

Phylace(Greek:Φυλάκη) was a Thessalian city west of the Gulf of Pagasae. In Ancient Greece, Phylace was a kingdom. Its king, Protesilaus, was the first Greek hero killed in the Trojan War.

Phylace (modern greek:Φυλάκη, Fylaki) today is a tiny village in the Magnesia prefecture, in central Greece, near Almyros.

Parmenion, son of Glaucias, Phylacean (ancient greek:Παρμενίων Γλαυκίου Φυλακαῖος) was a dolichos runner, winner in the Macedonian festival at Beroea in 3rd/2nd c. BC (possibly "Αλεξάνδρεια", Alexandrian games dedicated to Alexander the Great).
