Histoire
Melaeneae or Melaineai, or Melaenae or Melainai (Μελαιναί), was an ancient town in the Greek region of Arcadia. Pausanias mentions that it laid on the road from Heraea to Megalopolis, 40 stadia from Buphagium. He further says that it was founded by Melaeneus, the son of Lycaon, but that it was deserted in his time and overflowed with water. However, it still features on the Tabula Peutingeriana.
