(Donusa) or Donusia (Donousia). One of the smaller Sporades in the Aegaean Sea near Naxos. It produced green marble, whence Vergil calls the island viridis. Under the Roman emperors it was used as a place of banishment.
Donusa or Donysa (Donusa; whence come the corrupt forms Donousia,
Steph. B. s.v.; Eustath. ad Dionys. Per. 530; Dionysia, Mel. ii. 7), a small island
near Naxos, said by Stephanus to have been the island to which Dionysus carried
Ariadne from Naxos, when pursued by her father Minos. This tale, however, appears
to have arisen from confounding Donusa, the name of the island, with Dionysus,
the name of the god. Stephanus also states, though we know not on what authority,
that the island belonged to Rhodes. Virgil (Aen. iii. 125) gives to Donusa the
epithet of viridis, which Servius explains by the colour of its marble; but this
statement is probably only invented to explain the epithet. Donusa was used as
a place of banishment under the Roman empire. (Tac. Ann. iv. 30.)
