LYKOA (Ancient city) FALANTHOS
Lycoa: (Lukoa: Eth. Lukoates), a town of Arcadia in the district Maenalia, at
the foot of Mt. Maenalus, with a temple of Artemis Lycoatis. It was in ruins in
the time of Pausanias, and is represented by the Paleokastron between Arachova
and Karteroli. There was another Lycoa not far from the Alpheius, near its junction
with the Lusius or Gortynius, at the foot of Mt. Lycaeus.It has been conjectured
that the proper name of the latter of these towns was Lycaea,
since Pausanias (viii. 27. § 4) speaks of the Lycaeatae (Lukaiatai) as a people
in the district of Cynuria, and Stephanus mentions a town Lycaea (Lukaia). (Leake,
Morea, vol. ii. p. 304.)
