Pteleum (Elis)
Pteleum or Pteleon (Ancient Greek: Πτελεόν) was a town of Triphylia, in ancient Elis. Homer writes that it belonged to Nestor in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.[1] It is said by Strabo to have been a colony from the Thessalian Pteleum. This town had disappeared in Strabo's time (first century AD); but its uninhabited woody site was still called Pteleasimum or Pteleasion.[2]
Its site has not been located.[3]
