Dereium or Dereion (Ancient Greek: Δέρειον), also known as Dera (Δέρα)[1] and Derrhium or Derrhion (Δέρριον),[2] was a town of ancient Laconia. Pausanias writes that it was on Taygetus not far from Lapithaeum, and 20 stadia from Harpleia. Dereium possessed an open image of Artemis Dereatis, and a spring called Anonus.[3]
Its site is unlocated.[4]
