The name of Ephean* dote not occor in the Uometic peeme, and there le do pnjof, eaje Stiabc^ that It was (0 eld ai the Tngan War (p. 620). Ac- ecrdiiig to a myth (Staph. B. l v. "E^nroi), the plai* wai orii^naU j called Sniyma, fmn Smyrna the Amazon ; it me also called Samoma, and Tncheia, aad Ortygia, and Ptelea. Tha name Efiieaua waa said (o be fxnta one of the Anu- ' aooi. Tbe nams Ptelea appean in an iucrip- tlco of the Boman peiicd which waa copied by Chkhnll at E[A«Bua. Pliny (t. 39) baa alio pre- ■ared thii legend of the Amizooian orinn of Epheana, and a name Alope, which the place had at the time ef the Trojan War; a story Ibuiui in Hy- ginna alio. Plinj ^eo mentiooe the name Uorgee, The l^end of the Amaiona is connected with the goddeai Artemia, the deity of Epheaus. Paoianiae (Tii. 3. g 6) has a legend about the temple of Epbeeua being (bonded by EpbeauA, the eon of the ilrer CayRjui, and Creaua an latocbthco. ■ Stnbo, nha bad been at Epheans, ^tcs a pretty 633 good deeeription of it (p. 63S). As a man wQed n<«thward tlirough the diannel that sqnratei Same* from Mycale, be came to the eea-oust of the Kphsia, part of which belongs to the Samii. North of the Panionium was NapoUe, which race belonged to Epheana, bat in Strabo's ^me to tha Samii, who had received it in exchange for Mantheainm. Next waa Pygela, 1 small place with a temple of Artunie Manjchia, a letllemmt of Agameinnoi), according to alegind; and next the port called Panormns, whicb contAined a temple ef Artemia Epheaiaj and then the dty. On this suui coaat, a little above the sea, there waa also Ortygia, a fine grove of variooa Uoda of tnai, and pirticaiarty iTpnaa, The atttam Cenchriqa Bowed through it. The stream and the place were eoaoected with a legend of Lato and the birth of Apollo and Artemia. Ortygia was the nurse who asiisted Lito in her latwor. Above the gnve Ru a moontain Solmiaeuii, where the Curetea placed themselves, and with the clasbing of thdr arms prevented the jealous Hera, who was on the watch, livm hearing tha cries of Lato. There iier« several tamplea in this place, old and new: in the eld lemplea there were ancient wooden atatnesi but in the later temples otheia (niuAut tpyn'). There waa Lato holding a staff, and Ortygia itanding by her with a child on each arm. The Cai» and Lal^in were tha settlers of Epheaoa, according to OM stoi7 (Strabo). and these two peopka or two nantes are often mentioned together. Bat Pbere- cjdca (Strab. p. 632) sap that the Paralia of Ionia was originally occn|:aed by Carians from Uilctns to tbe parts about Mycale and Kpheeoa, and the re- m^wleT as far as Fhicaea by Leleges. Tbe nativea wen driven out of Ephceua by Androdns and bia looians, who settled about the Athenaeum and the Hjpelaens, and they also occupied a part of the li^;her oeonti; (vqi UapaptlvT) about the CiKSaens. Pansaniaa preservea a tradition that Androdns drove ont of the country the Leiegee, whom he takes to be a branch of the Carians, and the Lydians who occn- jned the apper city ; but those who dwdt ibont the temple were not molealed, and Ihey came to taims with the Imiana. This tradition shows that the old temple was not in the dty. The tomb nt Androdua was still shown in the time of Paasanias, on the road from the temple piat the Oljmpieium, and to the Pylae Hagnetidea; the Sgnre on the tomb was wi armed man (viL 3. % 6, &c.). This place on tha Irill was the site of the city imtil Croesoa' time, aa Stxaba says. Croesus warred against the loniaoa of Ephesui (Uerod. i. 36), and b«ieg«l Ibdr dty, at which lime during the siege (so says the text) the Epheiui dedicated their dty to Artemis by fanteoing Che city to the temple by a rope. It was seven stadia between llie old dty, the dty that waa then bcnegsd, and the temple. This oH dty wis the dty on the Paroreis. After the time of Croesus the people came down into the plain, and lived aboat the ''present' temple (Strabo) to the time of Alexander. Kii« Lydmadius built the nlla of •(ha dty that existed in Stiabo'i lime; and as llie people were not wilting to remove to the new dty, he wuted for a ' nt rain, which he asusled by atoj^ing up the nels tiiat carried off the water, and so drowned ity, and made the people glad lo leave it, Ljsi- This w(«d sHoAut has never been explained.
