the Catalogue of Ships of the Iliad, by Homer, who speaks of it as near the river Boagrius.
At the beginning of the Peloponnesian War (431 BCE) Thronium was taken by the Athenians. It was at one time partly destroyed by an earthquake in 426 BCE. In the Third Sacred War it was taken by Onomarchus, the Phocian general, who sold its inhabitants into slavery, and hence it is called a Phocian city by the author of the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax. Thronium is also mentioned by Polybius, Euripides, Livy, Pausanias, Lycophron, Ptolemy, Pliny the Elder, and Stephanus of Byzantium.
Along with Scarpheia, Thronium was one of only two towns of the Locri Epicnemidii to mint coins.
The site of Thronium is near a place called Palaiokastro eis ta marmara.
