This article is about temple of Artemis on Mount Ochi. For other uses, see Temple of Artemis.
The Temple of Artemis Amarysia was a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess of the moon and hunting Artemis, on Mount Ochi in Euboea, Greece.
It was said to be as large as the sanctuary dedicated to Apollo on the island. To honor Artemis, competitions, musical contests, sacrifices and war dances were performed at the temple.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the temple was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
