Olmones ( Ancient Greek: Ὄλμῶνες) [1] was a village in ancient Boeotia, situated 12 stadia to the left of Copae, and 7 stadia from Hyettus. It derived its name from Olmus, the son of Sisyphus, but contained nothing worthy of notice in the time of Pausanias (2nd century). [2]
Its site is located north of Pavlon near modern Stroviki. [3] [4]
