CLITOR

Volume 7 · 91 words · 1860 Edition

in Ancient Geography, a town of Arcadia, on a hill, and near a river of the same name which falls into the Arcanious. In the vicinity was a fountain, the waters of which were said to deprive those who drank them of the taste for wine. The ruins of Clitor (now called Palcopoli) are still to be seen, about three miles from a village which bears the name of the ancient town. A spring flowing from the hill on which the ruins stand is supposed to be the fountain above mentioned.
