ALEAIA (Ἀλέαια), a festival celebrated to the honour of Athena Alea at Tegea with games and contests, of which we find mention in inscriptions (Paus. VIII.47 § 3; Krause, Die Gymnastik u. Agonistik d. Hellenen, pp734‑736; K. F. Hermann, Lehrbuch d. gottesdienstlichen Alterthümerd. Griechen, § 51, n. 11; comp. Halotia).a

Thayer's Note:

a Dr. Schmitz was having a bad day, I fear. Not only is there no article Halotia in the Dictionary — and maybe there should be: see the article in Daremberg & Saglio — but he duplicated this article under the incorrect spelling Alaea.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
