City
Olenus (Achaea)
Southern Europe
Olenus was an ancient city on the coast of Achaea in Greece, on the left bank of the Peirus river, at a site near modern Tsoukalaiika and Kamenitsa. It was one of the twelve original cities of the Achaean League, but declined sharply after 280 BC, when its inhabitants abandoned the town for neighboring villages and for Dyme. By the time of the historian Polybius the city was no longer inhabited, and by the 2nd century AD it survived only as ruins under the control of Dyme. Ancient sources record that Olenus was ruled first by an eponymous king and later by a king named Crinacus.
