Lusia (Attica)

Lusia or Lousia (Ancient Greek: Λουσία) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the phyle Oeneïs, sending one delegate to the Athenian Boule.

[1] Stephanus of Byzantium notes it was named after a heroine named Lusia, a daughter of Hyacinthus the Lacedaemonian.

[2] The deme is attested in inscriptions; one a funerary inscription of a townsperson,[3] another describing the deme's contributions to construction of the Eleusinion.

[4] The site of Lousia is in the Kephisos valley, west of modern Athens.
