Parrhasia (Template:Lang-grc) was a city of ancient Arcadia, in the region of Parrhasia. It was mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.[1] It was said to have been founded by Parrhasus, a son of Lycaon, or by Pelasgus, son of Arestor.[2][3] Some writers equate the city with Lycosura.[4]
