Town in the district of Acroreia in ancient Elis

**Thraustus** or **Thraustos** ([Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language): Θραύστος)[1] or **Thraestus** or **Thraistos** (Θραιστός)[2] was a town in the mountainous district of [Acroreia](/source/Acroreia) in [ancient Elis](/source/Ancient_Elis). [Diodorus Siculus](/source/Diodorus_Siculus) writes that the [Spartans](/source/Ancient_Sparta), under command of [Pausanias of Sparta](/source/Pausanias_of_Sparta), marched against Elis with 4,000 men in 402 BCE, and that the towns of [Opus](/source/Opus_(Elis)), [Alium](/source/Alium), [Eupagium](/source/Eupagium), Thraustus, and [Lasion](/source/Lasion) were subdued.[3] [Xenophon](/source/Xenophon) mentions an [Arcadian](/source/Ancient_Arcadia) raid into Elis and took several towns of Acroreia around 365 BCE.[4]

Its site is unlocated.[5]
