Araethyrea : Perseus Project Index
Old name of Phliasia and Phlius.
Borders on territory of Sicyon, river Asopus rises in.
Araethyrea is the country which is now called Phliasia; and near the mountain
Celossa it had a city of the same name as the country; but the inhabitants later
emigrated from here, and at a distance of thirty stadia founded a city which they
called Phlius. A part of the mountain Celossa is Mt. Carneates, whence the Asopus
takes its beginning--the river that flows past Sicyonia,
and forms the Asopian country,
which is a part of Sicyonia.
There is also an Asopus that
flows past Thebes and Plataea
and Tanagra, and there is
another (Asopus) in the Trachinian
Heracleia that flows past a village which they call Parasopii, and there is
a fourth in Paros. (Strabo
8.6.24)
