Chaas (Elis)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chaas (Ancient Greek: Χάας) was a town of Triphylia, in ancient Elis, nor far from Lepreum on the Akidas.[1][2] Strabo comments that some people believed that Chaas was the location of the war between Pylos and the Arcadians, as told by Homer.[1]

It is unlocated.
