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]
