6 f. Λύκειος was a widely-diffused epithet of Apollo. At Athens the Λύκειον was sacred to him, and a seat in the Dionysiac theatre bore the inscription, ἱερέως Ἀπόλλωνος Λνκήον (C. I. A. III. 292). Other places, besides Argos, where he was worshipped under this name were Sicyon, Troezen, Thebes, and Delphi (cp. Preller, 1. p. 202). The words of Alcman (fr. 68), πρόσθ' Ἀπόλλωνος Λνκήω, probably refer to a shrine at Sparta. Hesychius explains Λνκιάδες κόραι as τὸν ἀριθμὸν τριάκοντα, αἱ τὸ ὕδωρ κομίζουσαι εἰς τὸ Λύκειον: where the number thirty, suggesting the days of the month, is a hint that the primary significance of Λύκειον, though lost in speech, survived in symbolism. It is uncertain to what Λύκειον the notice refers.
