Scotane

Scotane or Skotane (Ancient Greek: Σκοτάνη) was a settlement in ancient Arcadia, Greece. Pausanias wrote that it was located near Nasi, Lycuntes and Argeathae,[1] which places it in the southern part of present Achaea.

Its site is located near the modern Dafni.[2] The modern village of Skotani was renamed after the ancient town, but is located 7 km from Dafni.
