Tegea (Crete)
Tegea (Ancient Greek: Τεγέα) was a town of ancient Crete, which, according to legend, was founded by Agamemnon.[1][2]
The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World note the tentative suggestion of its site as near modern Deliana, but ultimately leave it as unlocated.[3]
