Domokos (Greek: Δομοκός), the ancient Thaumacus or Thaumace (Θαυμακός, Θαυμάκη), is a town and a municipality in Phthiotis, Greece. The town Domokos is the seat of the municipality of Domokos and of the former Domokos Province. The town is built on a mountain slope overlooking the plain of Thessaly, 38 km from the city of Lamia.
The area of Domokos became part of Greece in 1881 when the Ottoman Empire ceded Thessaly and a few adjacent areas to Greece. Until 1899, it was part of the Larissa Prefecture.
Ottoman Era
In 1521 (Hijri 927) the town, known in Ottoman Turkish as Dömeke, had six Muslim and 311 Christian households in nine neighborhoods. The castle of the town is mentioned as Dimoko in the Seyahatnâme of Evliya Çelebi, which he visited in 1668. He mentions that there were around a hundred tiled houses, with Muslims constituting only one neighborhood and having a mosque, and that the inner castle was inhabited by the Greeks since the beginning of the Ottoman conquest. He points out that the Muslims are mixed with Christians and are unaware of their denomination, and that they are relieved of paying the haraç tax. He also mentioned the antisemitism of the town, saying that "they do not allow Jews in this city, and the Jews do not come out of fear".

Kalesi, göklere çıkmış bir sivri kaya üzerinde yuvarlak ve şeddadi taş yapı küçük bir kaledir. Fetihten sonra bazı yerleri yıkılmıştır. Bütün kafiri ve Müslümanları ancak 100 kadar kiremit örtülü evlerdir. Rumları fetihten beri iç kalenin tepesinde sakinler. Oradan aşağıda Müslümanlar olup 1 mahalle ve 1 cami var, ama Müslümanlarının dinleri ve mezhepleri nedir, onlar da bilmez. Kefereler ile karışmış Müslüman şekilli, haraç vermeden kurtulmuş bir kavimdir. Hepsi 2 hanları ve 50 adet dükkanları var, ama hamamı ve başka imaretleri yoktur. Abıhayat kaynak suları çoktur, bağ bahçeleri uzaktır. Bu kale anayola aykırı olmakla bu kavim asla misafir almazlar, Yahudi kavmini bu şehre koymazlar ve Yahudiler de korkup gelmezler.
