Histiaea

Histiaea, an important region of Euboea mentioned by Homer in the Iliad, later known as Oreos

Elephenor, offspring of Ares, son of Chalcodon, 
great-hearted leader, commanded the Abantes, 
who live to breathe war's fury, soldiers from Euboea, 
Chalcis, Eretria, wine-rich Histiaea, Cerinthus by the sea, 
men from the steep fortress Dium, Carystus, and Styra. 
These swift Abantes came with Elephenor, 
their hair grown long behind, warrior spearmen, 
filled with fierce desire to tear apart their enemies,
Iliad Book 2

A city in that region was Oreoi or Orei
