Brauronia
Βραυρωνία
(Βραυρωνία), a surname of Artemis, derived from the demos of Brauron in Attica. Under this name the goddess had a sanctuary on the Acropolis of Athens, which contained a statue of her made by Praxiteles. Her image at Brauron, however, was believed to be the most ancient, and the one which Orestes and Iphigeneia had brought with them from Tauris. (Paus. 1.23.8; Dict. of Ant. s. v. Βραυρώνια.)
