Paroreia (Ancient Greek: Παρώρεια) or Paroria (Παρωρία) was a town of ancient Arcadia, Greece, in the region of Eutresia. It was located near the present village Psari, in the municipal unit of Gortynia.[1] According to Greek mythology, Paroreia was founded by Paroreus (Παρωρεὺς), a son of Tricolonus. It was 10 stades from Zoetia, and 4 stades from Thyraeum. It was already abandoned when Pausanias visited the area in the 2nd century.[2]
