Arne (Boeotia)
Coordinates: 38°28′58″N 22°56′00″E / 38.48288°N 22.93328°E Arne (Ancient Greek: Ἄρνη) was a town of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer,[1] and probably founded by the Boeotians after their expulsion from ancient Thessaly. Pausanias identified this Boeotian Arne with Chaeroneia,[2] Strabo with Acraephium;[3] and others again supposed that it had been swallowed up by the waters of the Lake Copais.[4] Modern scholars locate Arne with the site of archaeological site of Magoula Balomenou.[5][6] It may be linked to the ancient citadel of Gla.
