At some distance from Marathon is Brauron, where, according to the legend, Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, landed with the image of Artemis when she fled from the Tauri; leaving the image there she came to Athens also and afterwards to Argos. There is indeed an old wooden image of Artemis here, but who in my opinion have the one taken from the foreigners I will set forth in another place. Pausanias

Brauron (Greek, Ancient: Βραυρών, Modern: Βραυρώνα Vravrona or Vravronas) is an early sanctuary site on the east coast of Attica located between Markopoulo Mesogeias and Artemis (Loutsa). It was established during the Neolithic era, 2000-1600 B.C. Iphigeneia, a priestess of the goddess Artemis, was buried at Brauron and was also honored as a goddess of child-birth. The goddess Artemis was the protector of women during child-birth and of the newborn; she was also the goddess of vegetation and hunting.

In 1948, Ioannes Papadimitriou, began excavating this site. Professor Ch. Bouras continued the restoration during the 1950s and 1960s.

Among the monuments are the big stoa of the interior courtyard, opening toward the temple of Aphrodite, the temple of Artemis, the temple of Iphigeneia, and the stone bridge over the Erasinos River.

At seven years of age, I carried the sacred vessels; at ten, I pounded barley for the altar of Athene; next, clad in a robe of yellow silk, I played the bear to Artemis at the Brauronia; Aristophanes, Lysistrata
