ΜΥΛΑΙ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
Mulai: Eth. Mulaios. A town of Perrhaebia in Thessaly, taken by Perseus
in B.C. 171. (Liv. xlii. 54; Steph. B. s. v.) As Livy describes it as a strong
place near Cyretiae, it is placed by Leake at Dhamasi, which is not only strong
in itself, but very important, as commanding the pass of the Titaresius, leading
into Perrhaebia from the Pelasgiotis. (Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 311.)

A city captured and burned by Perseus, identified by Stahlin with the steep hill between Damasi and Damasouli near Phalanna. There are remains of a wall around a small acropolis at the W end, and a larger circuit of rough polygonal blocks of yellowish limestone. There were round towers at three corners and probably at the fourth. Much of the wall now visible belongs to Byzantine rebuilding. The Hellenistic remains are chiefly in the stretch of wall N of the E tower. The identification was questioned by Philippson-Kirsten on the grounds that the site seemed typically mediaeval. In support of the identification, Stahlin reported a dedicatory inscription found in Damasi which refers to the Mother of the Gods of Mylai.
