Pelodes

In Antiquity, Pelodes (

Ancient Greek: Παλῶδες) was a site that cannot be identified with any certainty. One obscure Palodes was a minor port site on the eastern side of the Bosporus, about halfway up, a little south of Amycus.^[1]

A reference to another Palodes is in

Pan (mythology)

.

In Plutarch's context, Epitherses was sailing up the western coast of Greece, presumably intending to cross to Italy once he reached

Ancient Greek: Πηλώδης λιμήν) as the location of Buthrotum (modern Butrint in southern Albania

, opposite the northern end of Corfu.
