OLIGYRTUS (
Ὀλίγυρτος,
Plb. 4.11,
70;
Ὀνόγυρτος, Plut.
Cleom. 26), a mountain and fortress situated in a pass between Stymphalus and Caphyae. Leake places it on a small advanced height of
Mt. Skipézi, projecting into the Stymphalian plain, on the crest of which are the foundations of a Hellenic wall, formed of large quadrangular stones. (Leake,
Morea, vol. iii. p. 114; Boblaye,
Récherches, &c. p. 154; Curtius,
Peloponnesos, vol. i.p. 217.)
