Question 1:
Direction: A passage is given question following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to the question out of the given four alternatives.
Tegea was a settlement in ancient Arcadia, and it is also a former municipality in Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the Tripoli municipality, of which it is a municipal unit with an area of 118.350 km. It is near the modern villages of Alea and Episkopi. The legendary founder of Tegea was Tegeates, a son of Lycaon. Tegea was one of the most ancient and powerful towns of ancient Arcadia, situated in the southeast of the country. Its territory, called Tegeatis, was bounded by Cynuria and Argolis on the east, from which it was separated by Mount Parthenium, by Laconia on the south, by the Arcadian district of Maenalia on the west, and by the territory of Mantineia on the north. The Tegeatae are said to have derived their name from Tegeates, a son of Lycaon, and to have dwelt originally in eight, afterwards nine, demoi or townships.
In the Archaic period the nine demoi that underlie Tegea banded together in a synoecism to form one city; the inhabitants of the demoi were incorporated, by Aleus in the city of Tegea, of which this hero was the reputed founder. The names of these nine townships, which are preserved by Pausanias, are: Gareatae, Phylaceis, Caryatae, Corytheis, Potachidae, Oeatae, Manthyreis, Echeuetheis, to which Apheidantes was added as the ninth in the reign of king Apheidas. The Tegeatae were early divided into four tribes, called respectively Clareotis, Hippothoitis, Apolloneatis, and Athoneatis, to each of which belonged a certain number of metoeci or resident aliens. Tegea, however, still retained its independence, though its military force was at the disposal of Sparta; and in the Greco-Persian Wars it appears as the second military power in the Peloponnesus, having the place of honour on the left wing of the allied army.
