释义

{{main|Marion, Cyprus}}

Arsinoe (Greek: {{lang|grc|Ἀρσινόη}}) was an ancient city in northwestern Cyprus built on top of the older city, Marion[1] (Greek: {{lang|grc|Μάριον}});[2] some ancient writers conflate the two cities.

Ptolemy I Soter destroyed the town of Marion in 312 BCE and removed some inhabitants to Paphos.[3] The city was refounded by Ptolemy Philadelphus and named after his sister/wife Arsinoe.

According to Strabo there was a grove sacred to Zeus.[4]

Cyprus, from its subjection to the kings of the Lagid family, had more than one city of this name, which was common to several princesses of that house; see Arsinoe for other cities so named.

The site of Arsinoe is located near modern Polis tis Khrysokhou.[5][6]
