Thaliades (Ancient Greek: Θαλιάδες) was a town in Arcadian Azania in ancient Greece, situated on the river Ladon between the towns Halus and Thelpusa. There was a temple of Eleusinian Demeter, with statues of Demeter, her daughter and Dionysos.[1] It was part of the city-state of Kleitor.[2] The ruins that have been found 1 km west of Vachlia are believed to be the remains of Thaliades.[3]
