Ὠκαλέα, πόλις Βοιωτίας. “Ὠκαλέην Μεδεῶνά τ´ ἐυκτίμενον πτολίεθρον” Ὅμηρος. ἔστι δὲ πρὸς τῇ Ἁλιάρτῳ. ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ Ὠκάλεια, ὡς Ἀπολλόδωρος. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ὠκαλεύς, ὡς Μαντίνεια [Μαντινεύς]. ἐκλήθη δὲ οὕτως διὰ τὸ συντόμως πορεύεσθαι ἐκ Θεσπιῶν εἰς Θήβας· αἱ δὲ Θεσπιαὶ γειτονοῦσι καὶ ὁμοροῦσιν αὐτῇ.

Okalea: a city in Boiotia. ‘Okaleen and Medeon, well-built citadel’, Homer. It is near Haliartos. It used to be called ‘Okaleia’, as per Apollodoros. The ethnonym is ‘Okaleus’, as ‘Mantineus’ is from ‘Mantineia’. It was so called because one travels quickly from Thespiai to Thebes; Thespiai neighbours and borders it.
