ΩΚΑΛΕΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΩΤΙΑ
Ocalea, Ocaleia (Okalea, Okaleia: Eth. Okaleus). An ancient city of Boeotia,
mentioned by Homer, situated upon a small stream of the same name, at an equal
distance from Haliartus and Alalcomenae. It lay in the middle of a long narrow
plain, bounded on the east by the heights of Haliartus, on the west by the mountain
Tilphossium, on the south by a range of low hills, and on the north by the lake
Copais. This town was dependent upon Haliartus. The name is probably only a dialectic
form of Oechalia. Its site is indicated by several squared blocks on the right
bank of the stream.
