Harma ( Ancient Greek: Ἅρμα) was a town of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad, [1] which is said to have been so called, either because the chariot of Adrastus broke down here, or because the chariot of Amphiaraus disappeared in the earth at this place. [2] [3] [4] Strabo describes it as a deserted village in the territory of Tanagra near Mycalessus; and Pausanias speaks of the ruins of Harma and Mycalessus as situated on the road from Thebes to Chalcis. Claudius Aelianus speaks of a lake called Harma. [5]
