Pharkadon, Thessaly, Greece, c. 420 - 400 B.C.
|Thessaly|, |Pharkadon,| |Thessaly,| |Greece,| |c.| |420| |-| |400| |B.C.|, Farkadona is located about halfway between the cities Larissa to the east, and Trikala to the west, at about 30 km from both, on the Thessalian Plain, near the river Pineios. In 200 B.C., during the Second Macedonian War, Athamanian troops commanded by Amynander of Athamania and troops of the Aetolian League, allies of the Romans, established their camps around the city of Pharcadon while they plundered the Thessalian plain. They were attacked by troops of Philip V of Macedon, who put them to flight. The site of ancient Pharcadon is on a hill near the village of Klokoto in the municipality of Farkadona, which was renamed to reflect its association with Pharcadon.
