ΑΚΡΙΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΕΛΟΣ
Τον σκότωσε ο Οινόμαος όταν πήγε στην Πίσα ως μνηστήρας της Ιπποδάμειας (Παυσ. 6,21,10).
ΒΟΙΕΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΑ
Ενας από τους Ηρακλείδες. Ελεγαν πως για να φτιάξει αυτή την πόλη, έφερε κατοίκους από τρεις άλλες πόλεις, την Ητιν, την Αφροδισιάδα και τη Σίδην (Παυσ. 3,22,11).
Inland, forty stades from the river, lies Pyrrhichus, the name of which is said to be derived from Pyrrhus the son of Achilles; but according to another account Pyrrhichus was one of the gods called Curetes. Others say that Silenus came from Malea and settled here. That Silenus was brought up in Malea is clear from these words in an ode of Pindar:
The mighty one, the dancer, whom the mount of Malea nurtured, husband of Nais, Silenus.
Not that Pindar said his name was Pyrrhichus; that is a statement of the men of Malea.

As a fourth labour he ordered him to bring the Erymanthian boar alive; now that animal ravaged Psophis, sallying from a mountain which they call Erymanthus. So passing through Pholoe he was entertained by the centaur Pholus, a son of Silenus by a Melian nymph. He set roast meat before Hercules, while he himself ate his meat raw. When Hercules called for wine, he said he feared to open the jar which belonged to the centaurs in common. But Hercules, bidding him be of good courage, opened it, and not long afterwards, scenting the smell, the centaurs arrived at the cave of Pholus, armed with rocks and firs. The first who dared to enter, Anchius and Agrius, were repelled by Hercules with a shower of brands, and the rest of them he shot and pursued as far as Malea. Thence they took refuge with Chiron, who, driven by the Lapiths from Mount Pelion, took up his abode at Malea. As the centaurs cowered about Chiron, Hercules shot an arrow at them, which, passing through the arm of Elatus, stuck in the knee of Chiron. Distressed at this, Hercules ran up to him, drew out the shaft, and applied a medicine which Chiron gave him. But the hurt proving incurable, Chiron retired to the cave and there he wished to die, but he could not, for he was immortal. However, Prometheus offered himself to Zeus to be immortal in his stead, and so Chiron died. The rest of the centaurs fled in different directions, and some came to Mount Malea, and Eurytion to Pholoe, and Nessus to the river Evenus. The rest of them Poseidon received at Eleusis and hid them in a mountain. But Pholus, drawing the arrow from a corpse, wondered that so little a thing could kill such big fellows; howbeit, it slipped from his hand and lighting on his foot killed him on the spot. So when Hercules returned to Pholoe, he beheld Pholus dead; and he buried him and proceeded to the boar hunt. And when he had chased the boar with shouts from a certain thicket, he drove the exhausted animal into deep snow, trapped it, and brought it to Mycenae.

ΑΦΡΟΔΙΣΙΑΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΑ
Ιδρυσε την Αφροδισιάδα και την Ητιν όταν, καθώς πήγαινε προς την Ιταλία, οι άνεμοι τον παρέσυραν στη Λακωνία (Παυσ. 8,12,8).
Son of Aphrodite and the Trojan Anchises. When Troy
fell, Aeneas managed to escape. He took his old father on his back, and his son
Askanios by his hand and had his wife Creusa walk behind him. His divine mother
helped them out of the city safely.
Somewhere along the way Creusa disappeared, but Aeneas made it safely
to Italy. There, he became
the ancestor of Romolus and Remus, the fathers of Rome.
Virgil's “Aenid” is about this hero and his adventurous
journey.

ΗΤΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΑ
For when Aeneas was voyaging to Sicily, he put in with his ships to Laconia, becoming the founder of the cities Aphrodisias and Etis; his father Anchises for some reason or other came to this place and died there, where Aeneas buried him. (Perseus Project - Paus. 8.12.8)
ΖΑΡΑΞ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΖΑΡΑΚΑΣ
Ο Παυσανίας είδε ηρώο του στην Ιερά Οδό και αναφέρει την παράδοση που άκουσε, ότι δηλαδή ο Ζάρηξ έμαθε μουσική κοντά στον Απόλλωνα. Η δική του γνώμη, όμως, ήταν ότι ο Ζάρηξ ήταν λακεδαιμόνιος, επώνυμος της πόλης Ζάραξ (Παυσ. 1,38,4).
ΗΤΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΑ
Κόρη του Αινεία. Το δικό της όνομα έδωσε ο Αινείας σε μια από τις πόλεις που ίδρυσε (Παυσ. 3,22,11).
ΣΙΔΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΒΟΙΑ
Κόρη του Δαναού, έδωσε το όνομά της στην πόλη (Παυσ. 3,22,11).
ΖΑΡΑΞ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΖΑΡΑΚΑΣ
Ο Κλεώνυμος προέτρεψε το βασιλιά της Ηπείρου Πύρρο να εισβάλει στη Λακωνία όταν οι γέροντες της Σπάρτης παραχώρησαν τη βασιλεία στο γιο του αδερφού του και όχι στον ίδιο. Αποτέλεσμα της οργής του ήταν η καταστροφή του Ζάρακα (Παυσ. 3,6,3).
