THISSOA (Ancient city) ANDRITSENA
Eth. Theisoates. A town of Arcadia, in the district Cynuria or Parrhasia,
on the northern slope of Mt. Lycaeus, called after the nymph Theisoa, one of the
nurses of Zeus. Its inhabitants were removed to Megalopolis upon the foundation
of the latter city. Leake places it at the castle of St. Helen above Lavdha. Ross
discovered some ancient remains N. of Andritzana, which he conjectures may be
those of Theisoa.
