Pharae (Achaea)
Pharae was an ancient Greek city in western Achaea in the Peloponnese, inland from Patrae, and one of the twelve cities of the original Achaean League. In 280 BCE it joined Dyme, Patrae and Tritaea in reviving the league, which grew into a major power in Hellenistic Greece. Pausanias later described its marketplace with a statue of Hermes that gave oracles.
