Vetting Status: high

Notes:
From the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 2.507.
Stephanus of
Byzantium lists 4 'cities' of this name, in various places, but the one the Suda means is unambiguous.
According to
Pausanias 9.40.5 (web address 1),
Arne was the original name of the settlement later (and better) known as Chaeroneia (
chi 176), but
Strabo 9.2.35 mentions a view that it had been submerged under Lake Kopais. Hansen 433 n.2 classifies it as 'a mythical toponym, not even to be placed on an atlas of Bronze Age settlements' (but he cites also J.M. Fossey's suggestion that it be identified with remains at present-day Magoula Balomenou).
For
Terpander as a man from
Arne, see under
tau 354; and cf. generally
alpha 3983.
