Bromiscus
Bromiscus or Bromiskos (Ancient Greek: Βρομίσκος), or Bormiscus or Bormiskos (Βορμίσκος),[1] was a town of Mygdonia in ancient Macedonia, near the river by which the waters of Lake Bolbe flow into the Strymonic Gulf.[2] It was either upon the site of this place or of the neighbouring Arethusa that the fortress of Rentine was built, which is frequently mentioned by the Byzantine historians.[3] Stephanus of Byzantium relates that Euripides was here torn to death by dogs; but another legend supposes this event to have taken place at Arethusa, where the tomb of the poet was shown. It was mentioned in the Athenian tribute lists as a member of the Delian League in 422/1 BCE.[4]
The site of Bromiscus is located near modern Kato Stavros.[5][6]
