Aenianes, an ancient tribe of upper Greece, of remote and uncertain origin, whose frequent migrations in early times are spoken of by many writers of antiquity, especially by Plutarch, in his "Greek Questions." According to this author, they occupied in the first instance the Dotian plains, on the confines of Thessaly and Macedonia, moved thence into Epirus, and in their last migration went from Crissa, on the gulf of the same name, to the valley of the northern Inachus, on which they finally settled. Their chief town was Hypata, at the foot of Mt. (Eta, of which considerable remains exist at the village of Neopatra. The antiquity and early importance of this people are attested by the fact of their belonging to the Amphictyonic council. At a later period they joined the confederation of the other Hellenic states against Macedonia, which gave rise to the Lamianwar; but according to Strabo, in his time they had no longer a national ex-istence, having been nearly exterminated by the Aetolians and Athamanians.
