Tegea (Crete)

ἔστι καὶ Τεγέα ἐν Κρήτῃ ὑπὸ Ταλθυβίου κτισθεῖσα. Stephanus of Byzantium

Tegea (Ancient Greek: Τεγέα) was a town of ancient Crete, which, according to legend, was founded by Talthybius.[1][2]

The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World note the tentative suggestion of its site as near modern Deliana, but ultimately leave it as unlocated.[3]
