Pitane (Ancient Greek: Πιτάνη), or Pitana (Πιτάνα), was a settlement that existed before the Dorian conquest. It was united with three other such settlements (Mesoa, Limnae, and Cynosura) by a common sacrifice to Artemis, and eventually coalesced into ancient Sparta. Pitane is called a polis by Euripides, and is also mentioned as a place by Pindar. Herodotus, who had been there, calls it a deme. He also mentions a λόχος Πιτανάτης; and Caracalla, in imitation of antiquity, composed a λόχος Πιτανάτης of Spartans.

It was the favourite and fashionable place of residence at Sparta, like Collytus at ancient Athens and at Corinth. We are also told tha
