MEGARIS (anc. geog.), the country of the Megareans, is described as a rough region, like Attica; the mountain called Omeian or the Athinne, now Macriplai or "the long Mountain," extending through it toward Burotia and mount Cithæron. It belonged to Ionia or Attica, until it was taken by the Peloponnesians in the reign of Codrus, when a colony of Dorians settled in it. This territory had Attica to the east, Burotia to the north and west, and the Ilthmus of Corinth to the south.
