Thalamae (Elis)
Thalamae or Thalamai (Ancient Greek: Θαλάμαι) was a town of ancient Elis, situated above Pylus on the frontiers of Achaea, and in the rocky recesses of Mount Scollis.[1] It was here that the Eleians took refuge with their property and flocks, when their country was invaded by Philip V of Macedon in 219 BCE.[2][3]
Its site is unlocated.[4]
