Some modern writers have followed Pausanias in identifying Tithorea and Neon; but Heinrich Ulrichs, for the reasons which have been already stated, supposes them to have been different cities, and places Neon at the Hellenic ruins on the Cephissus, called Paleá Fiva, distant 3 miles from modern Tithorea (formerly Velitsa, since renamed to reflect the association with the ancient town).
