Malea (Arcadia)
Malea was a town in the district of Aegytis in ancient Arcadia, the inhabitants of which were transferred to Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter city. Its territory was called the Maleatis. Xenophon describes Leuctra as a fortress situated above the Maleatis. The place Midea mentioned by Xenophon may be a corrupt form of Malea.
Its site is tentatively located south of the modern Voutsaras.
