Lusia (Attica)

Lusia or Lousia (Ancient Greek: Λουσία) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the phyle Oeneïs, sending one delegate to the Athenian Boule.^[1] Stephanus of Byzantium notes it was named after a heroine named Lusia, a daughter of Hyacinthus the Lacedaemonian.^[2]

The deme is attested in inscriptions; one a funerary inscription of a townsperson,^[3] another describing the deme's contributions to construction of the Eleusinion.^[4]

The site of Lousia is in the Kephisos valley, west of modern Athens.^[5]^[6]
