Aliphera has continued to be regarded as a city from the beginning to the present day.
ΘΕΙΣΟΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΝΔΡΙΤΣΑΙΝΑ
There is a place on Mount Lycaeus called Cretea, on the left of the grove of Apollo surnamed Parrhasian. The Arcadians claim that the Crete, where the Cretan story has it that Zeus was reared, was this place and not the island. The nymphs, by whom they say that Zeus was reared, they call Theisoa, Neda and Hagno. After Theisoa was named a city in Parrhasia; Theisoa to-day is a village in the district of Megalopolis. From Neda the river Neda takes its name; from Hagno a spring on Mount Lycaeus, which like the Danube flows with an equal volume of water in winter just as in the season of summer. Should a drought persist for a long time, and the seeds in the earth and the trees wither, then the priest of Lycaean Zeus, after praying towards the water and making the usual sacrifices, lowers an oak branch to the surface of the spring, not letting it sink deep. When the water has been stirred up there rises a vapor, like mist; after a time the mist becomes cloud, gathers to itself other clouds, and makes rain fall on the land of the Arcadians.
ΑΙΠΥ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
As for "well-built Aepy," some raise the question which of the two words is the epithet and which is the city, and whether it is the Margalae of today, in Amphidolia.
ΑΡΗΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
... perhaps Samicum was the acropolis of Arene, which the poet mentions in the
Catalogue: "And those who dwelt in Pylus and lovely Arene." For while they cannot
with certainty discover Arene anywhere, they prefer to conjecture that this is
its site; and the neighboring River Anigrus, formerly called Minyeius, gives no
slight indication of the truth of the conjecture, for the poet says: "And there
is a River Minyeius which falls into the sea near Arene." For near the cave of
the nymphs called Anigriades is a spring which makes the region that lies below
it swampy and marshy. The greater part of the water is received by the Anigrus,
a river so deep and so sluggish that it forms a marsh; and since the region is
muddy, it emits an offensive odor for a distance of twenty stadia, and makes the
fish unfit to eat.
In the mythical accounts, however, this is attributed by some
writers to the fact that certain of the Centaurs here washed off the poison they
got from the Hydra, and by others to the fact that Melampus used these cleansing
waters for the purification of the Proetides.80 The bathing-water from here cures
leprosy, elephantiasis, and scabies. It is said, also, that the Alpheius was so
named from its being a cure for leprosy. At any rate, since both the sluggishness
of the Anigrus and the backwash from the sea give fixity rather than current to
its waters, it was called the "Minyeius" in earlier times, so it is said, though
some have perverted the name and made it "Minteius" instead.
But the word has other sources of derivation, either from the
people who went forth with Chloris, the mother of Nestor, from the Minyeian Orchomenus,
or from the Minyans, who, being descendants of the Argonauts, were first driven
out of Lemnos into Lacedaemon, and thence into Triphylia, and took up their abode
about Arene in the country which is now called Hypaesia, though it no longer has
the settlements of the Minyans. Some of these Minyans sailed with Theras, the
son of Autesion, who was a descendant of Polyneices, to the island which is situated
between Cyrenaea and Crete ("Calliste its earlier name, but Thera its later,"
as Callimachus says), and founded Thera, the mother-city of Cyrene, and designated
the island by the same name as the city.
ΕΠΙΤΑΛΙΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Ο Στράβων ταυτίζει το ομηρικό Θρύον ή Θρυόεσσα με το μετέπειτα Επιτάλιον (Στράβ. 8.3.24).
ΚΡΟΥΝΟΙ (Χωριό) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Ο Στράβων αναφέρει τους Κρουνούς στα νότια της Ηλείας (Στρ. 8,3,27).
Then comes the mountain of Triphylia that separates Macistia from Pisatis; then another river called Chalcis, and a spring called Cruni, and a settlement called Chalcis
ΛΕΠΡΕΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
To the south of Pylus is Lepreum. This city, too, was situated
above the sea, at a distance of forty stadia; and between Lepreum and the Annius
is the temple of the Samian Poseidon, at a distance of one hundred stadia from
each. This is the temple at which the poet says Telemachus found the Pylians performing
the sacrifice: "And they came to Pylus, the well-built city of Neleus; and the
people were doing sacrifice on the seashore, slaying bulls that were black all
over, to the dark-haired Earth-shaker." Now it is indeed allowable for the poet
even to fabricate what is not true, but when practicable he should adapt his words
to what is true and preserve his narrative; but the more appropriate thing was
to abstain from what was not true. The Lepreatans held a fertile territory; and
that of the Cyparissians bordered on it. Both these districts were taken and held
by the Cauconians.
ΜΑΚΙΣΤΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Την αναφέρει και με το όνομα Πλανιστούς και ότι οι κάτοικοι ήταν Καύκωνες (8,3,16)
ΜΙΝΘΗ (Βουνό) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Near Pylus, towards the east, is a mountain named after Minthe, who, according to myth, became the concubine of Hades, was trampled under foot by Core, and was transformed into garden-mint, the plant which some call Hedyosmos. Furthermore, near the mountain is a precinct sacred to Hades, which is revered by the Macistians too, and also a grove sacred to Demeter, which is situated above the Pylian plain. This plain is fertile; it borders on the sea and stretches along the whole distance between Samicum and the River Neda. But the shore of the sea is narrow and sandy, so that one could not refuse to believe that Pylus got its epithet "emathoeis" therefrom.
ΠΥΛΟΣ ΤΡΙΦΥΛΙΑΚΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Ο Στράβων την αναφέρει σχετικά κοντά στα Ιερά της Σκιλλουντίας Αθηνάς και του Σαμίου Ποσειδώνα (Παυσ. 8,3,14).
.. most of the more recent writers, both historians and poets, say that Nestor was a Messenian, thus adding their support to the Pylus which has been preserved down to their own times. But the writers who follow the words of Homer more closely say that the Pylus of Nestor is the Pylus through whose territory the Alpheius flows. And the Alpheius flows through Pisatis and Triphylia.
ΣΑΜΙΚΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
