ÆNARIA (anc. geog.), an island on the bay of Cumæ, or over-against Cumæ in Italy, (Pliny.) It is also called Inarime, (Virgil); and now Ischia: scarce three miles distant from the coast, and the promontory Misenus to the west; 20 miles in compass; called Pithecusa by the Greeks. It is one of the Oenotrides, and fenced round by very high rocks, so as to be inaccessible but on one side; it was formerly famous for its earthen ware. See ISCHIA.
