ΜΑΝΘΥΡΕΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΕΓΕΑ

ΤΕΓΕΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΡΚΑΔΙΑ
The Tegeans say that in the time of Tegeates, son of Lycaon, only the district got its name from him, and that the inhabitants dwelt in parishes, Gareatae, Phylacenses, Caryatae, Corythenses, Potachidae, Oeatae, Manthyrenses, Echeuethenses. But in the reign of Apheidas a ninth parish was added to them, namely Apheidantes.
Ο Παυσανίας τον αναφέρει σαν ψηλό τόπο με πολλούς βωμούς, όπου οι Τεγεάτες έκαναν ετήσια γιορτή. Κάποτε οι Σπαρτιάτες ήρθαν να καταλάβουν την Τεγέα τον καιρό της γιορτής. Επειδή όμως χιόνιζε έτρεμαν από το κρύο και υπέφεραν από τα όπλα που φορούσαν. Οι Τεγεάτες άναψαν φωτιά κρυφά, ζεστάθηκαν, φόρεσαν μετά τα όπλα και όρμησαν κατά των Σπαρτιατών, τους οποίους και νίκησαν. Το προσωνύμιο "Κλάριος" του Δία οφείλεται στην κλήρωση που έγινε για τα παιδιά του Αρκάδα (Παυσ. 8,53,9-10).
ΑΚΡΑ (Οικισμός) ΤΕΓΕΑ
Λόφος κοντά στην Τεγέα, όπου είχαν στήσει ενέδρα οι γυναίκες της Τεγέας και από 'κεί επιτέθηκαν κατά των Λακεδαιμονίων στον πρώτο Λακωνικό Πόλεμο (Παυσ. 8,48,4).
ΚΕΡΑΣΙΤΣΑ (Χωριό) ΤΕΓΕΑ
Πάνω στο βουνό αυτό υπήρχε Ιερό του Αφνειού (Παυσ. 8,44,7). Είναι το σημερινό Βουνό, νοτιοδυτικά της Κερασίτσας (Εκδ. Αθηνών, Παυσανίου Περιήγησις, τόμ. 4, σελ. 386, σημ. 2).
Είναι η πηγή της Κερασίτσας.Το όνομά της το όφειλε στο γειτονικό τάφο της Λευκώνης (Παυσ. 8,44,8).
ΤΕΓΕΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΡΚΑΔΙΑ
The territory of Tegea N. of the city, towards Mantineia, is a plain
of considerable size, and is usually called the Tegeatic plain (Tegeatikon pedion).
There was a smaller plain, separated from the former by a low range of mountains
S. of Tripolitza, and lying between Tegea and Pallantium: it was called the Manthyric
plain (Manthurikon pedion), from Manthyrea, one of the ancient demi of Tegea,
the ruins of which are situated SW. of Tegea, on a slope of Mt. Boreium. (Paus.
viii. 44. § 7, comp. viii. 45. § 1, 47. § 1; Steph. B. s. v. Manthurea.) The remainder
of the Tegeatis on the E. and S. is occupied by the mountains separating it from
Argolis and Sparta respectively, with the exception of a small plain running eastward
from the Tegeatic plain to the foot of Mt. Parthenium, and probably called the
Corythic plain, from Corytheis, one of the ancient demi of Tegea, which was situated
in this plain. (Paus. viii. 45. § 1, 54. § 4.)
The plain of Tegea having no natural outlet for its waters is drained
by natural chasms through the limestone mountains, called katavothra. Of these
the two most important are at the modern village of Persova and at the marsh of
Taki. The former is situated in the Corythic plain above mentioned, at the foot
of Mt. Parthenium, and the latter is the marsh in the Manthyric plain. SW. of
Tegea. The chief river in the district is now called the Sarantapotamos, which
is undoubtedly the Alpheius of Pausanias (viii. 54. § 1, seq.). The Alpheius rose
on the frontiers of Tegea and Sparta, at a place called Phylace (Phulake, near
Krya Vrysis), one of the ancient demi of Tegea, and, as we may infer from its
name, a fortified watch-tower for the protection of the pass. A little beyond
Phylace the Alpheius receives a stream composed of several mountain torrents at
a place named Symbola (Sumbola); but upon entering the plain of Tegea its course
was different in ancient times. It now flows in a north-easterly direction through
the plain, receives the river of Dhuliana (the ancient Garates, Garates, Paus.
viii. 54. § 4), flows through the Corythic plain, and enters the katavothra at
Persona/. Pausanias, on the other hand, says (viii. 54. § 2) that the Alpheius
descends into the earth in the Tegeatic plain, reappears near Asea (SW. of Tegea),
where, after joining the Eurotas, it sinks a second time into the earth, and again
appears at Asea. Hence it would seem that the Alpheius anciently flowed in a north
a north-westerly direction, and entered the katavothra at the marsh of Taki, in
the Manthyric plain. There is a tradition among the peasants that the course of
the river was changed by a Turk, who acquired property in the neighbourhood, because
the katavothra at the Taki did not absorb quickly enough the waters of the marsh.
The Garates therefore anciently flowed into the katavothra at Persova without
having any connection with the Alpheius. It probably derived its name from Garea
or Gareae, one of the ancient demi of Tegea, which may have been situated at the
village of Dhuliana. (Ross, Peloponnes, p. 70, seq.; Leake, Peloponnesiaca, p.
112, seq.)
