Aspledon (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀσπληδών), also called Spledon (Σπληδών), was a city of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad, distant 20 stadia from Orchomenus. The river Melas flowed between the two cities.[1] Strabo says that it was subsequently called Eudeielus or Eudeielos (Εὐδείελος), from its sunny situation; but Pausanias relates that it was abandoned in his time from a want of water.[2] The town took its name from Aspledon, a son of Poseidon and the nymph Mideia.[3]
Its site is near modern Pirgos.
