Mount Thourion or Thurium Mons was the name of a conical hill in Ancient Greece. A temple to the cult of the Muses may have been situated here. The location of the hill was gradually forgotten and was rediscovered in February 1990 by an archaeologist and four graduate students from the University of California, Berkeley.In Plutarch's “Life of Sulla”, the hill is noted as having been the site of a monument to two townsmen of Chaeronea named Homoloichos and Anaxidamos, for their assistance to Sulla during the Battle of Chaeronea. The two showed Sulla's troops a back way up Thourion, enabling them to surprise the invading Pontic soldiers.

| - Thurion (altgriechisch Θούριον, lateinisch Thurium Mons) ist der antike Name eines Gebirgszugs am östlichen Rand der Ebene von Chaironeia in Boiotien. An dessen nördlichem Rand, an der Straße von nach Livadia, befindet sich das heutige Dorf Thourio. Auf dem Petrarchos, einem Ausläufer des nordwestlichen Teils des Thurion, befand sich die Akropolis von Chaironeia. Zum Thurion gehört auch der Orthopagos, ein steil aufragender Hügel am Rand der Ebene unmittelbar bei Chaironeia, wo 86 v. Chr. die zweite Schlacht bei Chaironeia stattfand, in welcher der römische Feldherr Sulla die Truppen des Mithridates unter Archelaos vernichtend schlug. Nach dem Bericht des Plutarch wurde von Sulla auf dem Orthopagos ein Monument mit den Namen zweier Griechen aus Chaironeia, Homoloichos und Anaxidamos, errichtet, die Sulla einen entscheidenden taktischen Vorteil verschafft hatten, indem sie ihm einen dem Feind unbekannten Bergpfad auf den Thurion wiesen. Dieses Monument, ein etwa 1 Meter breiter und 30 Zentimeter hoher Marmorblock, wurde im Februar 1990 von John Camp und einer Gruppe von Studenten der UCLA gefunden, wodurch der Ort der Schlacht eindeutig lokalisiert werden konnte. Am Fuß des Orthopagos befand sich auch ein Tempel des Apollon Thurios. (de)

The two showed Sulla's troops a back way up Thourion, enabling them to surprise the invading Pontic soldiers. In gratitude, a monument was erected on the summit with their names carved on it in Greek letters. The rediscovered monument was a marble block, about three feet wide and one foot high, inscribed with three words “HOMOLOICHOS,” “ANAXIDAMOS,” and “aristis” (Greek for heroes). A site likely to be that of the temple of Apollo Thourios was also found. Wikisource has original text related to this article:Lives (Dryden translation)/Sylla (en)
