Castabus

Castabus or Kastabos (Ancient Greek: Κάσταβος) was a town of ancient Caria.[1] Diodorus says Hemithea was carried off by Apollo and deified at Castabus.[2] The city came under Rhodian control, as part of the Rhodian Peraia, no later than 300 BC.[3] In 1960, an ancient Greek sanctuary (1st century BC) dedicated to the demigod Hemithea was discovered near the city by the British archaeologists J.M. Cook and W.H. Plommer.[3][4] The sanctuary consists of a temple, a theatre and numerous houses.[3] The theatre follows the common typical layout of Greek theatres, with a wide koilon (auditorium) and a small scene-building.[3]

Its site is located near Pazarlık, Asiatic Turkey.[1][5][6]
