Phlius (/ˈflaɪəs/; Ancient Greek: Φλειοῦς, Phleious) was a Greek city in the northwestern Argolid (now in modern Corinthia, near Nemea), in the Peloponnese, said to be named after the Greek hero Phlias but formerly called Araethyrea (/ˌærəˈθɪriə/; Ἀραιθυρέα, Araithurea). There are numerous archaeological remains, but very little in the way of traceable buildings, other than the theater, bouleuterion, and a few stretches of the city's eastern wall, which runs almost exactly north-south.
