Athmonum

Athmonum or Athmonon (Ancient Greek: Ἄθμονον), also Athmonia (Ἀθμονία),^[1] was a deme of ancient Attica, situated on the site of Marousi (Amarousion).^[2][3] The name of the modern village has been derived from Amarysia, a surname of Artemis, who was worshipped under this designation at Athmonum.^[4] An inscription found near Marousi, in which the temenos of this goddess is mentioned, puts the matter beyond dispute.^[5] Athmonum also possessed a very ancient temple of Aphrodite Urania.^[6] The inhabitants of this deme appear to have been considered clever wine-dressers.^[7]
