Annotations

There is a sanctuary of Artemis, surnamed Hymnia, standing on the borders of Orchomenus, near the territory of Mantineia. Artemis Hymnia has been worshipped by all the Arcadians from the most remote period 1. Artemis Mesopolitis - Artemis Center-city were worshipped in her sanctuary at the agora of Arcadian Orchomenos.
