Lycaea information


Lycaea or Lykaia (Ancient Greek: Λύκαια), also known as Lycoa or Lykoa (Λυκόα), was a town in the northwest of ancient Arcadia not far from the river Alpheius, near its junction with the Lusius or Gortynius, at the foot of Mount Lycaeus.[1] Pausanias writes of the Lycaeatae (Λυκαιᾶται) as a people in the district of Cynuria,[2] and Stephanus of Byzantium mentions the town.[3]

Its site is unlocated.[4]
