DASSES (Ancient city) MEGALOPOLI
Daseai: Eth. Daseates. A town of Arcadia in the district Parrhasia,
on the road from Megalopolis to Phigalea, 7 stadia from Macareae, and 29 stadia
from Megalopolis. It was in ruins in the time of Pausanias, as its inhabitants
had been removed to Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter. Its name was
apparently derived from the thick woods, the remains of which still cover the
heights of Deli Hassani, near which Daseae must have stood.
