in the texts
The Histories
Region of Achaea, including the town of Alus, traversed first by the Greek expedition and later by Xerxes's army.
Xerxes and his land army marched through Thessaly and Achaea, and it was three days since he had entered Malis.
When the forces had assembled, they passed through the Euripus and came to Alus in Achaea, where they disembarked and took the road for Thessaly, leaving their ships where they were.
When Xerxes had come to Alus in Achaea, his guides, desiring to inform him of all they knew, told him the story which is related in that country concerning the worship of Laphystian Zeus, namely how Athamas son of Aeolus plotted Phrixus ' death with Ino, and further, how the Achaeans by an oracle's bidding compel Phrixus descendants to certain tasks.

History of the Peloponnesian War
Region of the northern Peloponnese containing Erineus and Rhypa.
About the same time, the Peloponnesians in the five and twenty ships, who, to secure the passage of the merchantmen to Sicily, were anchored over against the fleet at Naupactus, having made their preparations for a sea-fight, and having manned some additional ships, so that they were now but little inferior to the Athenian force, stationed themselves off Erineus in Achae, in the territory of Rhypa.
Hellenica
The region of Achaea, target of Epaminondas's campaign and subsequently the site of a contested Theban-imposed and then reversed democratic settlement.
Within this number of days the Thebans arrived and crossed over Oneum, and all the allies thereupon marched against Achaea, under the leadership of Epaminondas.
Epaminondas, on the other hand, wishing to bring over the Achaeans to the side of the Thebans, in order that the Arcadians and the other allies might be more inclined to give heed to them, decided that he must march forth against Achaea.
When, however, the Arcadians and the Achaean opposition brought against him the charge that he had aranged matters in Achaea in the interest of the Lacedaemonians and had then gone away, the Thebans resolved to send governors to the Achaean cities.
