Lycoa

For the other town of ancient Arcadia also with this name near the Alpheius river, see Lycaea.

Lycoa or Lykoa (Ancient Greek: Λυκόα), was a town in ancient Arcadia in the district Maenalia, at the foot of Mount Maenalus, with a temple of Artemis Lycoatis. It was in ruins in the time of Pausanias (2nd century).[1][2]

Its site is tentatively located south of the modern Davia.[3][4]
