Nonacris (Orchomenus)

Nonacris or Nonakris (Ancient Greek: Νώνακρις) was a town of northern ancient Arcadia, named for the Arcadian king Lycaon's wife,[1] in the territory of Orchomenus. With Dipoena and Calliae, it formed the Arcadian Tripolis.[2]

It was near the Arcadian Styx river, which the Arcadians swore oaths by.[1]
