Sicyon/Demetrias
Sicyon/Demetrias was an important ancient city of the Corinthiad, located some 26 km to the west of Corinth. The city had a long history, beginning in the Archaic period when Orthagorid tyrants ruled it. It flourished in later Archaic and Classical times, was a member of the Peloponnesian League, and became a center of Theban power after 371 B.C. The city was long noted for its association with fine arts and during the fourth century B.C. produced the famous sculptor Lysippos. Under Aratos, Sicyon joined the Achaean League in 251 B.C. By the time Pausanias visited the site, declining political fortunes and disastrous earthquakes had reduced it to a ruinous state.
