Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Sollium or Sollion (Ancient Greek: Σόλλιον), was a town on the coast of ancient Acarnania, on the Ionian Sea. It was in the neighbourhood of Palaerus, which lay between Leucas and Alyzia. William Martin Leake, however, placed it south of Alyzia, at Stravolimióna (i.e., Port Stravo). Sollium was a Corinthian colony, and as such was taken by the Athenians in the first year of the Peloponnesian War (431 BCE). The Athenians gave both the place and its territory to Palaerus. It is again mentioned in 426 BCE, as the place at which Demosthenes landed when he resolved to invade Aetolia.

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Το Σόλλιον ήταν αρχαία Ελληνική παραθαλάσσια πόλη στην δυτική αρχαία Ακαρνανία, στο Ιόνιο Πέλαγος. Ήταν αποικία της αρχαίας Κορίνθου μέχρι την κατάληψη της το 431 π.Χ από την Αρχαία Αθήνα, κατά την περίοδο του Πελοποννησιακού πολέμου. Κατά την διάρκεια της κυριαρχίας των Αθηναίων, η πόλη ενώθηκε με την αρχαία Πάλαιρο. Αναφέρεται και πάλι το 426 π.Χ., ως ο τόπος στον οποίο ο Δημοσθένης αποβιβάστηκε όταν αποφάσισε να εισβάλει στην Αιτωλία.
