Σύμφωνα με τον Παυσανία το παλιότερο όνομά της ήταν Πάλεια. Ηταν η μοναδική από τις Αχαϊκές πόλεις που είχε κυριεύσει ο Φίλιππος του Δημητρίου και αργότερα ο Αύγουστος την προσάρτησε στην Πάτρα (Παυσ. 7,17,5).
And he ( Hecataeus of Miletus) says, further, that Dyme is an Epeian and an Achaean city. However, the early historians say many things that are not true, because they were accustomed to falsehoods on account of the use of myths in their writings; and on this account, too, they do not agree with one another concerning the same things. Yet it is not incredible that the Epeians, even if they were once at variance with the Eleians and belonged to a different race, later became united with the Eleians as the result of prevailing over them, and with them formed one common state; and that they prevailed even as far as Dyme. For although the poet has not named Dyme, it is not unreasonable to suppose that in his time Dyme belonged to the Epeians, and later to the Ionians, or, if not to them, at all events to the Achaeans who took possession of their country.
