Perrhaebi

Perrhaebi

The Perrhaebi were an ancient Greek people who lived in northern Thessaly. While the group were not major contributors to historical events, they did serve at the Battle of Thermopylae. Their capital was Phalanna, and their most significant town, or polis, was Oloosson. Through most of their history, they were overshadowed and controlled by Thessaly, although they had two votes at the Amphictionic Council. Philip II of Macedon freed the Perrhaebi from Thessaly and took their kingdom for Macedonian control, where it remained until Roman conquest in 196.
