LOKRIANS, The.
"The coast [of Greece, in ancient times] opposite to the
western side of Eubœa, from the neighbourhood of Thermopylæ as
far as the Bœotian frontier at Anthedon, was possessed by the
Lokrians, whose northern frontier town, Alpeni, was
conterminous with the Malians. There was, however, one narrow
strip of Phokis—the town of Daphnus, where the Phokians also
touched the Eubœan sea—which broke this continuity and
divided the Lokrians into two sections,—Lokrians of Mount
Knemis, or Epiknemidian Lokrians, and Lokrians of Opus, or
Opuntian Lokrians. … Besides these two sections of the
Lokrian name, there was also a third, completely separate, and
said to have been colonised from Opus,—the Lokrians surnamed
Ozolæ,—who dwelt apart on the western side of Phokis, along
the northern coast of the Corinthian Gulf. … Opus prided
itself on being the mother-city of the Lokrian name. … The
whole length of this Lokrian coast is celebrated for its
beauty and fertility, both by ancient and modern observers."
