A city on the northern coast of the PELOPONNESE (BA 58 C1; Müller I, 734–35), one of the twelve cities/regions (merē) of the Achaeans. Herodotus names Aegeira as one of the original twelve CITIES of the IONIANS, before they were forced to migrate to Asia Minor by the Achaeans (1.145). According to Pausanias (7.26.2), Aegeira was formerly called Hyperesia (cf. Hom. Il. 2.573).
