A town on the southeastern coast of Laconia with a temple of Apollo which contained an image of the god, said to have been cast into the sea at Delos and to have drifted ashore at Epidelium.
Epidelion. Called Delium simply by Strabo, a small place on the eastern coast of Laconia, situated within the territories of Boeae, at the distance of 100 stadia from Cape Malea, and 200 from Epidaurus Limera. Epidelium, however, appears to have been little more than a sanctuary of Apollo, erected at the time of the Mithridatic War, when a wooden statue of the god floated to this spot from Delos, after the devastation of the island by Metrophanes, the general of Mithridates. Epidelium probably stood on Cape Kamili, where there are a few ancient remains.
