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.
