ΘΕΙΣΟΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΔΗΜΗΤΣΑΝΑ
Μία από τις αρκαδικές πόλεις που συνοίκισαν τη Μεγαλόπολη (Παυσ. 8,27,4). Μετά το συνοικισμό της Μεγαλόπολης δεν ερήμωσε, αλλά εξακολούθησε να υπάρχει ως κώμη υπαγόμενη στη Μεγαλόπολη (Παυσ. 8,27,7).

Τεύθις

ΤΕΥΘΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΔΗΜΗΤΣΑΝΑ
Ο Παυσανίας την αναφέρει μαζί με τις άλλες πόλεις που ήταν εξαρτημένες από τον Ορχομενό και τις εγκατέλειψαν οι κάτοικοί τους για να συνοικίσουν τη Μεγαλόπολη (Παυσ. 8,27,4). Μετά το συνοικισμό της Μεγαλόπολης δεν ερήμωσε, αλλά συνέχισε να υπάρχει ως κώμη υπαγόμενη στη Μεγαλόπολη (Παυσ. 8.27.7, 8.28.4).

Adjoining the land of Theisoa is a village called Teuthis, which in old days was a town. In the Trojan war the inhabitants supplied a general of their own. His name according to some was Teuthis, according to others Ornytus. When the Greeks failed to secure favorable winds to take them from Aulis, but were shut in for a long time by a violent gale, Teuthis quarrelled with Agamemnon and was about to lead the Arcadians under his command back home again. Whereupon, they say, Athena in the guise of Melas, the son of Ops, tried to turn Teuthis aside from his journey home. But Teuthis, his wrath swelling within him, struck with his spear the thigh of the goddess, and actually did lead his army back from Aulis. On his return to his native land the goddess appeared to him in a vision with a wound in her thigh. After this a wasting disease fell on Teuthis, and its people, alone of the Arcadians, suffered from famine. Later, oracles were delivered to them from Dodona, telling them what to do to appease the goddess, and in particular they had an image of Athena made with a wound in the thigh. This image I have myself seen, with its thigh swathed in a purple bandage. There are also at Teuthis sanctuaries of Aphrodite and Artemis.
