Headword:
Apollônion
Adler number: alpha,3418
Translated headword: ApollĂ´nion
Vetting Status: high
Translation: An abbreviated way of saying 'the shrine of Apollo'. This is also the correct reading in
Thucydides.[1] Likewise
PoseidĂ´nion, the [shrine] of Poseidon. Thus
Athenaion, that of Athena, and
Dionysion and
Demetrion, and all such things, homonymous with the anthroponyms.[2] But as for
Poseidaneion,[3] it is clearly a Doric form.
Greek Original:Apollônion: bracheôs, to hieron tou Apollônos. houtôs kai para Thoukudidêi anagnôsteon. kai Poseidônion, to tou Poseidônos. hôs Athênaion, to tês Athênas: kai Dionusion kai Dêmêtrion kai panta ta toiauta, homônuma tois andrônumikois. to de Poseidaneion dêlon hoti Dôriaion.

Thucydides 2.91.1 (web address 1). The alternative spelling
*)apollw/neion with a diphthong is attested in
Cassius Dio and discussed by Ps.-Herodian,
Stephanus of
Byzantium, and (post-Suda) Eusthathius of Thessalonica.
[2] That is, like the proper names Dionysios, Demetrios, Poseidonios, etc.
[3] Unattested outside lexicography. But the god's name is attested with an alpha,
*posei/dan in Aeolic,
*poseida/n in Doric poetry.
