Dicaea orDikaia (Ancient Greek:Δικαία or Δίκαια), also called Dikaiopolis (Ancient Greek:Δικαιόπολις)[1] was a Greek[2] port town on the coast ofancient Thrace onLake Bistonis, in the country of theBistones.
Stephanus of Byzantium wrote that it took its name from theDicaeus (Ancient Greek:Δίκαιος) who was son ofPoseidon.[3]
The place appears to have decayed at an early period.[4][5][6][7] In the 19th century,William Hazlitt wrote that its site was that of the laterStabulum Diomedis ('Diomedes's stable'),[8] whereTheodoric Strabo died in 481 CE.[9] However, modern scholarship rejects this identification and identifies Stabulum Diomedis withTirida.[10]
The site of Dicaea is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) west ofMese.[10][11]
