Homer does not mention, at least not in express words the Locri Hesperii, but only seems to distinguish them from the people of whom we have spoken; Locri, who dwell beyond the sacred Euboea;Il. ii. 535.Il. ii. 535. as if there were other Locri. They occupied the cities AmphissaSalona, or Lampeni. and Naupactus.Lepanto. The latter still subsists near Antirrhium.Castel de Roumeli. It has its name from the ships that were built there, either because the Heraclidae constructed their fleet at this place, or because the Locri, as Ephorus states, had built vessels there long before that time. At present it belongs to the Aetolians, by a decree of Philip.

There also is Chalcis, mentioned by the poetIl. ii. 640. in the Aetolian Catalogue. It is below Calydon. There also is the hill Taphiassus, on which is the monument of Nessus, and of the other Centaurs. From the putrefaction of the bodies of these people there flows, it is said, from beneath the foot of that hill a stream of water, which exhales a foetid odour, and contains clots of blood. Hence also the nation had the name of Ozolae.From ὀζεῖν, to smell. Opposite Antirrhium is Molycreia,Maurolimne. a small Aetolian city.

Amphissa is situated at the extremity of the Crissaean plain. It was razed, as we have said before, by the Amphictyons. Oeanthia and Eupalium belong to the Locri. The whole voyage along the coast of the Locri is a little more than 200 stadia.
