Dipoena (Arcadia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dipoena or Dipoina (Ancient Greek: Δίποινα), also known as Dipoenae or Dipoinai (Δίποιναι), was a town in the north of ancient Arcadia. With Calliae and Nonacris, it formed the Arcadian Tripolis.[1] Its population was translated to the newly formed city of Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter city in 371 BCE. Its site is unlocated.[2]
