ΑΡΟΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΠΑΤΡΑ
(Patra) It is said to have been formed by an union of three small places, named
Aroe (Aroe), Antheia (Antheia), and Mesatis (Mesatis), which had been founded
by the Ionians, when they were in the occupation of the country. After the expulsion
of the Ionians, the Achaean hero Patreus withdrew the inhabitants from Antheia
and Mesatis to Aroe, which he enlarged and called Patrae after himself. The acropolis
of the city probably continued to bear the name of Aroe, which was often used
as synonymous with Patrac.
