Phyllus or Phylos (Ancient Greek: Φύλλος) was a city near Mount Phylleium in the district of Thessaliotis, in ancient Thessaly.[1] Strabo says the city was noted for a temple of Apollo Phylleius.[1] Statius calls this city Phylli.[2] The city is also cited by Stephanus of Byzantium.[3]
The site of Phyllus is at Magoula Paliambela, in the modern municipal unit of Fyllo.[4][5]
