词条 | Lusi (Arcadia) |
释义 |
Lusi was still independent in the 58th Olympiad ({{circa|544 BCE}}); since one of its citizens (Agesilas) is recorded to have gained the victory in the horse race in the 11th Pythiad.[4] Its territory was ravaged by the Aetolians in the Social War.[5] In the time of Pausanias (2nd century), there were no longer even any ruins of the town.[4] Its name, however, was preserved in consequence of its temple of Artemis Lusia or Hemerasia (the "Soother"). The goddess was so called, because it was here that the daughters of Proetus were purified from their madness. They had concealed themselves in a large cavern, from which they were taken by Melampus, who cured them by sacred expiations. Thereupon their father Proetus founded this temple of Artemis Hemerasia, which was regarded with great reverence throughout the whole Peloponnesus as an inviolable asylum. It was plundered by the Aetolians in the Social War. It was situated near Lusi, at the distance of 40 stadia from Cynaetha.[4][5][6] The interior of the temple, with the purification of the daughters of Proetus, is represented on an ancient vase.[7] By the first century BC staphanitic games (in which the sole prize was a crown) were being held at Lusi.[8]. The remains of Lusi have been found in 1897 by the archeologists Wilhelm Dörpfeld and Adolf Wilhelm, and have been excavated by the Austrian Archaeological Institute at Athens. The temple of Artemis and several buildings of the public centre of the town have been found.[1] In 1928 the nearby villages Soudena Theotokou and Soudena Agiou Vasileiou were renamed Ano Lousoi[9] and Kato Lousoi respectively.
