Psophis
Psophis (Ancient Greek: , ''Eth.'' ) was an ancient Greek city in the northwest end of Arcadia, bounded on the north by Arcadia, and on the west by Elis. It was located near the modern village Psofida, part of the municipality Kalavryta.
==City name and mythology==
Psophis was said to have been originally called Erymanthus, and its territory to have been ravaged by the Erymanthian Boar.〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'' viii. 24. § 2-10〕〔Hecat. ''on Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.'' 〕〔''Bibliotheca'' ii. 5. § 4〕 It afterwards received the name of Phegia or Phegeia ( or ), apparently from the oaks (Gr. ''phegoi'', ) which at least up until the 19th century could still be found upon the site of the town. The ancients, as usual, derived the name from an eponymous founder, Phegeus.〔Stephanus of Byzantium, ''s.v.'' , 〕
The city was said to have been renamed "Psophis" by Echephron and Promachus, two sons of Heracles, who are said to have come from Sicily, and who named the town after their mother, Psophis.〔
The city, while still called "Phegia", was celebrated as the residence of Alcmaeon, who fled here from Argos after murdering his mother. Here Alcmaeon married Arsinoe (named Alphesiboea in some versions), daughter of Phegeus.〔 In consequence of their connection with Alcmaeon, the Psophidians took part in the second expedition against Thebes, and refused to join the other Greeks in the Trojan War.〔
