LYCOSURA (mod. Palaeokastro or Siderokastro)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 153 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYCOSURA (mod. Palaeokastro or Siderokastro) , a
city
  of
Arcadia
 , reputed to be the most
ancient
 
city
  in
Greece
 , and to have been founded by Lycaon the son of Pelasgus. Its fame in later times was chiefly associated with the temple of Despoena, containing the colossal
group
  made by Damophon of
Messene
 , of Despoena and
Demeter
  seated, with Artemis and the Titan Anytus
standing
  beside them. The temple and considerable remains of the
group
  of sculpture were found in 1889. The date of both has been a matter of dispute, Damophon being placed at
dates
  varying from the 4th
century
  B.C. to the age of Hadrian. But it has now been shown that he lived in the and
century
  B.C. Remains of a portico, altars and other structures have also been found.
