37°32′26″N 21°45′11″E / 37.5405°N 21.753°E Hypana ( Ancient Greek: Ὕπανα) [1] or Hypaneia (Ὑπάνεια) [2] was a town in the interior of Triphylia in ancient Elis. It was taken by Philip V of Macedon in the Social War. [3] Its inhabitants had been transferred to Elis when Strabo wrote. Hypana is mentioned along with Typaneae near the rivers Dalion and Acheron, tributaries of Alpheus. [4] Both these towns must have been situated in the mountains of Triphylia.
Most modern scholars identify its location with a site near the modern town of Platiana, [5] [6] [7] though other writers disagree, and propose other locations. [8]
