Modern Merenda, is the place where the ancient deme of Myrrhinous was once positioned, a place rich in archaelogical findings.

Artemis Colaenis was worshipped at Myrrhinus (Paus. i. 31. § 4; Schol. ad Aristoph. Av. 874); and in one of the inscriptions at Meronda mention is made of a temple of Artemis Colaenis. (Bockh, Inscr. No. 100.) (See also Strab. ix. p. 399; Steph.; Phot.)
