Also known as Potniae
Potniae or Potniai () was a village of ancient Boeotia, on the road from Thebes to Plataea, distant 10 stadia from the former city. It was in ruins in the time of Pausanias (2nd century), and contained a grove sacred to Demeter and Kore. Potniae is celebrated in mythology as the residence of Glaucus, who was torn to pieces by his infuriated mares. According to Strabo, some authorities regarded Potniae as the Hypothebae of Homer.
Potnies (en grec ancien Ποτνίαι) est une ville antique de Béotie, proche de Thèbes. Elle a donné son nom à un Glaucos de Potniai qui, à l'instar de Diomède, nourrit ses chevaux de chair humaine pour qu'ils deviennent plus agressifs, et finit dévoré par eux. C'est apparemment le sujet d'une tragédie perdue d'Eschyle, Glaucos de Potniai (Γλαῦκος Ποτνιεὐς).
