110 THE EVENOS.
Bomiaii, in the country of the Ophieis in iEtolia. It enters the
sea by two mouths.
The chief villages which are seen on the banks of this river in the
iEtolian plain are Galata and Bochori. Spon1 conceives that the
former is Calydon; but the city of Meleager was probably some
miles from the sea, on the left bank of the Evenos, where there are
the remains of a city and Acropolis, composed of magnificent
walls, constructed nearly in a regular manner.
Thucydides2 says the JEtolians were a warlike people, and lived in
villages without walls. Strabo3 says that there were once ten cities
in iEtolia; but I find a greater number4 mentioned by ancient
authors.
