	Phthia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phthia (Greek: Φθίη Transliterations:, Modern: Fthii, Ancient: Phthiē) is an ancient region of Greece, at the southern part of Magnesia, on the both sides of Othrys mountain.

		With any and all strength she can muster, Phthia speaks one word, filled with every emotion felt in the room, it echoes in the rafters, "Stop..." With that spoken, Nygard turns to look at the child...no, not a child..

		In a survey of references across the Iliad to the placename, Mackie notes that, after the death of Patroklos and in the light of Achilleus's decision to return to the fighting, the naming of Phthia becomes ever more ominous.
		The essay closes with two persuasive postscripts: references to Phthia in Euripides, Iphigenia at Aulis and Plato, Crito, demonstrate that Phthia in the classical period at least was associated with death.
		He proposes an explanation that will account for two problematical Homeric verb forms, arguing that they result from the same single 'inner-epic' analogical process, which is plausible only within Homeric language.

		I then fled through Hellas till I came to fertile Phthia, mother of sheep, and to King Peleus, who made me welcome and treated me as a father treats an only son who will be heir to all his wealth.

		Now must I return home, for I have no time to waste; for there is a city not so very far from Sparta, which aforetime was friendly but now is hostile; against her will I march with my army and bring her into subjection.
