38°49′11″N 22°25′22″E / 38.819718°N 22.422726°E Sosthenis (Ancient Greek: Σωσθενίς) was a town in Oetaea in ancient Thessaly.[1] The town's name appears in an epigraph dated to c. 272-260 BCE, as providing a treasurer on behalf of the Aetolians in making an alliance with the Acarnanians.[2]
Modern scholars tentatively locate Sosthenis at the modern site of Vardates.[3][4]
