ΛΕΥΚΟΦΡΥΣ (Αρχαία κωμόπολη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Leucophryne (Leukophrune). A surname of Artemis, derived from the town of Leucophrys
in Phrygia, where, as well as at Magnesia on the Maeander, she had a splendid
temple (Xenoph. Hellen. iii. 2.19; Strab. xiv.7; Tac. Ann. iii. 62; Athen. xv.).
The sons of Themistocles dedicated a statue to her on the Acropolis at Athens,
because Themistocles had once ruled at Magnesia (Paus. i. 26. 4; Thuc. i. 138;
Plut. Themist. 29). There was also a statue of her at Amyclae, which had been
dedicated by the Magnesian Bathycles (Paus. iii. 18. 6). Her temple at Magnesia
had been built by Hermogenes, who had also written a work upon it. (Vitruv. vii.
Praef. 3, 1).
