A city in the domain of Protesilaos.
During the Trojan War, Protesilaos commanded the Achaian troops from Phylake, Antron, Iton, Pteleos, and Pyrasos. Protesilaos was killed as soon as he landed on the beach at Troy, leaving his younger brother Podarkes in command.
Phylake became the home of the Achaian commander Medon when he went into exile after killing a relative of his father's wife. Medon was the bastard son of King Oileus of Lokris and a woman named Rhene.
