ΑΡΜΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΑΝΑΓΡΑ
Harma (Harma: Eth. Harmateus). An ancient town of Boeotia, mentioned
by Homer, which is said to have been so called, either because the chariot of
Adrastus broke down here, or because the chariot of Amphiaraus disappeared in
the earth at this place. (Didym. and Eustath. ad Il. l. c.; Strab. ix. p. 404;
Paus. ix. 19. § 4, comp. i. 34. § 2; Steph. B. s. v.) Strabo describes it as a
deserted village in the territory of Tanagra near Mycalessus; and Pausanias speaks
of the ruins of Harma and Mycalessus as situated on the road from Thebes to Chalcis.
Aelian (V. H. iii. 45) speaks of a lake called Harma, which is probably the one
now called Moritzi or Paralimni, to the east of Hylica. The exact site of Harma
is uncertain. It is supposed by Leake to have occupied the important pass on the
road from Thebes to Chalcis, leading into the maritime plain. (Leake, Northern
Greece, vol. ii. p. 251.) is said to have been so called, either because the chariot
of Adrastus broke down here, or because the chariot of Amphiaraus disappeared
in the earth at this place. (Didym. and Eustath. ad Il. l. c.; Strab. ix. p. 404;

A small place in Boeotia, near Tanagra. It got its name traditionally from the chariot (harma) of Adrastus, which broke down at this place; or, according to others, from the fact that the chariot of Amphiaraus was here swallowed up by the earth.
