Panormus (Ionia)

Panormus or Panormos (Ancient Greek: Πάνορμος) was a small town of ancient Ionia, the port of Ephesus formed by the mouth of the Caystrus (the modern Küçükmenderes River), near which stood the celebrated temple of the Ephesian Artemis.^[1][2] Panormos was destroyed by the Spartan king Agis in C. Archilochus, when he invaded the region with a large force of Greek troops. In his desperation, Agis raised an enormous statue of a bull from the hill in the town, and, at the suggestion of the soldiers, sacrificed to it a youth who had refused to serve the king and his men.
