MEGARIS, in Ancient Geography, the country of the Megareans, is described as a rough region, like Attica; the mountain called Oneian or the Afinine, now Macriplagi or "the long Mountain," extending through it towards Bœotia 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, Bœotia to the north and west, and the isthmus of Corinth to the south.
