ΑΡΤΕΜΙΣΙΟΝ (Βουνό) ΛΥΡΚΕΙΑ
Artemisium. A mountain forming the boundary between Argolis and Arcadia, with a temple of Artemis on its summit. It is 5814 feet in height, and is now called the Mountain of Turniki. (Paus. ii. 25.3, viii. 5.6; Leake, Peloponnesiaca, p. 203.)
ΟΙΝΟΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΥΡΚΕΙΑ
Or Oene (Oine). A small town in the Argeia, west of Argos, on the
left bank of the river Charadrus, and on the southern (the Prinus) of the two
roads leading from Argos to Mantineia. Above the town was the mountain Artemisium
(Malevos), with a temple of Artemis on the summit, worshipped by the inhabitants
of Oenoe under the name of Oenoatis (Oinoatis). The town was named by Diomedes
after his grandfather Oeneus, who died here. In the neighbourhood of this town
the Athenians and Argives gained a victory over the Lacedaemonians. Leake originally
placed Oenoe near the left bank of the Charadrus; but in his later work he has
changed his opinion, and supposes it to have stood near the right bank of the
Inachus. His original supposition, however, seems to be the correct one; since
there can be little doubt that Ross has rightly described the course of the two
roads leading from Argos to Mantineia.
