An ancient city in Lakonia (Laconia) slightly southeast of Sparta on the eastern banks of the Eurotas River.
Amyklae was founded by Amyklas (Amyclas) and renowned as a city of fierce independence; when the Dorians invaded Greece in the twelfth century BCE, the citizens of Amyklae remained aloof to their influence and even after the Dorians had taken control of the city, the native inhabitants continued to maintain their customs and tradition.
Soldiers from Amyklae participated in the Trojan War.
The exact location of the ancient city is not known because it was never very large or rich and therefore lost in the mists of time.
The name, Amyklae, may also be rendered as Amyklia or Amyclia.
