Panactum
(Redirected from Panakton)
Panactum or Panakton (Ancient Greek: Πάνακτον) was a fortress on the frontiers of ancient Attica and Boeotia. Ancient Athenians and Boeotians frequently fought over this.[1] In 304 BC, Demetrius I Poliorketes took the fortress after a siege.[2][3][4]
The site of Panactum is located between modern Panakto and Prasino (formerly, Kavasala).[5][6]
