Saint George of Polyphengos (Sancto Georgio de Polifengno in a 1377 document) or simply Polyphengos (Greek: Πολύφεγγος; Polifant in the French Chronicle of the Morea) was a fortress and settlement of the Frankish Principality of Achaea in the Peloponnese. The settlement of Saint George was situated on the plain some 3 km from ancient Nemea, and occupied the space of the modern town of Nemea, while the fortress was situated on the top of Mount Polyphengos and controlled one of the passes leading from the plateau of Arcadia to the lowlands of the Argolic Gulf.

  • Ο Άγιος Γεώργιος της Πολυφέγγου (Sancto Georgio de Polifengno, όπως αναφέρεται σε έγγραφο του 1377) ή απλώς Πολύφεγγος (Polifant στο γαλλικό Χρονικόν του Μορέως) ήταν φρούριο και οικισμός του φράγκικου Πριγκιπάτου της Αχαΐας στην Πελοπόννησο. Ο οικισμός του Αγίου Γεωργίου ευρισκόταν σε πεδινή τοποθεσία, σε απόσταση περίπου 3 χλμ. από την Αρχαία Νεμέα, και κατελάμβανε τον χώρο της σημερινής πόλης της Νεμέας, ενώ το φρούριο ευρισκόταν στην κορυφή του Όρους Πολύφεγγου και ήλεγχε ένα από τα περάσματα που οδηγούσαν από το οροπέδιο της Αρκαδίας στις πεδινές εκτάσεις του Αργολικού Κόλπου. Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 1320, οι Έλληνες, υπό την ηγεσία του Ανδρόνικου Ασάν, κατέλαβαν το φρούριο του και νίκησαν τις φραγκικές ενισχύσεις που κατέφθασαν στην περιοχή. Αμέσως μετά την επιτυχία αυτή, βάδισαν ενάντια στα φρούρια της Καρύταινας, της Άκοβας και της Πολυφέγγου, των οποίων και πέτυχαν την παράδοση, μέσω της δωροδοκίας των διοικητών τους. Η επιτυχία αυτή έδωσε στους Έλληνες στρατιωτικό πλεονέκτημα, καθώς το σύνολο αυτών των φρουρίων ήλεγχε ορεινά περάσματα από το αρκαδικό οροπέδιο προς τις, ακόμη υπό φραγκικό έλεγχο, παράκτιες πεδιάδες. Η Πολύφεγγος, ωστόσο, ενδέχεται να ανακατελήφθη από τους Φράγκους λίγο καιρό αργότερα, καθώς το όνομά της εμφανίζεται σε έναν κατάλογο φέουδων του Πριγκιπάτου της Αχαΐας του 1377. (el)

In September 1320, the Greeks under Andronikos Asen captured the fortress of and defeated a relief force. They immediately followed up this success by advancing against the fortresses of Karytaina, and Polyphengos and obtaining their surrender by bribing their commanders. This success gave the Greeks a strategic advantage as all these fortresses controlled passages through the mountains from the interior plateau to the still Frankish-held coastal plains. Polyphengos, however, may have been recaptured by the Franks some time after, as it appears in a list of fiefs of the Principality of Achaea in 1377. (en)
  • São Jorge de Polifengo (em italiano: Sancto Georgio de Polifengno segundo um documento de 1377) ou simplesmente Polifengo (em grego: Πολύφεγγος; romaniz.: Polýphengos; Polifant na versão francesa da Crônica da Moreia) foi um fortaleza e assentamento do Principado de Acaia no Peloponeso. O assentamento de São Jorge estava situado na planície aproximados 3 quilômetros da antiga Nemeia, e ocupou o espaço do moderna cidade de Nemeia, enquanto a fortaleza esteve situado no topo do Monte Polifengo e controlou uma das passagens que levou do planalto da Arcádia às terras baixas do golfo de Argos. Em setembro de 1320, os gregos sob Andrônico Asen capturaram a fortaleza de e derrotou uma força de alívio. Eles imediatamente ampliaram seu sucesso ao avançarem contra as fortalezas de , e Polifengo e obtiveram a rendição delas ao subornar seus comandantes. Este sucesso deu aos gregos uma vantagem estratégica com todas estas fortalezas controlando passagens através das montanhas do interior do planalto até as planícies costeiras ainda controladas pelos francos. Polifengo, contudo, pode ter sido recapturada pelos francos após algum tempo, como aparece em uma lista de feudos do Principado de Acaia em 1377. (pt)
