 | | Locrian maidens were seen as marginal beings, separated from normal life. | | | The Locrian inscription calls for a return of two maidens. | | | After a thousand years the tribute ends with the end of the Phocian War, which destroyed the city Naryca, which supplied the maidens. |

| | They also replanted the Delians in Delos, both in consideration of the defeats they had received after their expulsion, and also because the oracle at Delphi had commanded it. | | | They also sent to Corinth, and to the Bœotians, Phoceans, and Locrians, to come with their aids with all speed to Mantineia. | | | The Lacedæmonians being come entire to Oresteium, from thence sent back the sixth part of their army, in which they put both the youngest and the eldest sort, for the custody of the city; and with the rest marched on to Tegea: and not long after arrived also their confederates of Arcadia. |

| | Locris |
| | Mythology knows of a Locrus, eponym of the Locrians, variously related to Amphictyon, a son of Deucalion (he is at times his son, at times his great-grandson). | | | It is as a result of a fight between Locrus and his son Opus that the former decided to leave the throne to his son and move with some of his subjects to another country, eventually to settle on the western slopes of Mount Parnassus, in what became Ozolian Locris. | | | Locrus had for wife Protogenia ("the first born" in Greek), the daughter of Deucalion, who had two sons from Zeus, Æthlius and Opus (the eponym of the city by the same name), of whom Locrus was the "mortal" father. |

| | They were instigated chiefly by the Locrians, who hated the Rhegians, and had already invaded their territory with their whole force. | | | The Locrians took part because the Rhegians were their enemies, and they wanted to crush them by sea as well as by land. | | | They had already invaded the territory of Rhegium with their whole army, in order to hinder the Rhegians from assisting the Messenians; they were also partly instigated by certain Rhegian exiles who had taken refuge with them. |

| | Locris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the 7th century BC, some Locrians founded the city of Locri in southern Italy, naming it after their native land, although there is some disagreement over whether it was those from Opuntian Locris or from Ozolian Locris who were responsible. | | | This fact, combined with the region's infertility, meant that the Locrians tended to be dominated by their neighbours, and played little part in Greek history. | | | The territory of the Locrians was thus divided into two by Doris and Phocis, perhaps due to an early invasion of a contiguous Locrian state. |

| | There was no cause why they should fear; for after all the invader was not a god but a man; and there never had been, and never would be, a man who was not liable to misfortunes from the very day of his birth, and those misfortunes greater in proportion to his own greatness. | | | But Leonidas, who saw with what indignation the Phocians and Locrians heard of this plan, gave his voice for remaining where they were, while they sent envoys to the several cities to ask for help, since they were too few to make a stand against an army like that of the Medes. | | | The various nations had each captains of their own under whom they served; but the one to whom all especially looked up, and who had the command of the entire force, was the Lacedaemonian, Leonidas. |

| | It was believed that they had separated from the eastern Locrians four generations before the Trojan War; yet Homer has no hint of their existence. | | | Homer mentions only these eastern Locrians: their national hero in the Trojan War is Ajax Oileus, who often appears afterwards on Locrian coins. | | | From Hesiod's time onwards, the Opuntians were thought by some to be bf " Lelegian " origin (see LELEGES), but they were Hellenized early (though matriarchal customs survived among them), and Deucalion, the father of Hellen himself, is described as the first king of Opus. |

| | Ancient coins of Locri |
| | The coins of the Locrians, which appear to be subsequent to the battle of Chaeroneia, resemble for the most part in their types those already described, although they are distinctly later in style, but instead of ΟΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ they bear the legends ΛΟΚΡΩΝ ΥΠΟΚ (in mon.), ΛΟΚΡ, ΛΟ, or ΛΟΚΡ ΕΠΙΚΝΑ (B. Cent. | | | I am inclined to think that these types were designed for the Opuntians at the Syracusan mint, and that the dies (for the first issue at any rate) were executed there. | | | For other varieties of Locrian coins see B.

| | People who defend this mode of treating benefactors, cannot be supposed to set much value on the benefit; and I believe this view of the subject is mostly confined to the sort of persons who think that new truths may have been desirable once, but that we have had enough of them now. | | | That the authors of such splendid benefits should be requited by martyrdom; that their reward should be to be dealt with as the vilest of criminals, is not, upon this theory, a deplorable error and misfortune, for which humanity should mourn in sackcloth and ashes, but the normal and justifiable state of things. | | | The propounder of a new truth, according to this doctrine, should stand, as stood, in the legislation of the Locrians, the proposer of a new law, with a halter round his neck, to be instantly tightened if the public assembly did not, on hearing his reasons, then and there adopt his proposition. |

| | In the first half of 5th century BC, the Locrians destroyed the archaic temple and rebuilt a new temple in the Ionic style. | | | Locri Epizephyri (epi-Zephyros, under the West wind; see also List of traditional Greek place names) was founded about 680 BC on the Italian shores of the Ionian Sea, near modern Capo Zefirio, by the Locrians, apparently by Opuntii (East Locrians) from the city of Opus, but including Ozolae (West Locrians) and Lacedaemonians. | | | The temple was designed by Syracusean architects around 470 BC based on the idea of Hiero I of Syracuse. |

| | In historical times it belonged to the Ozolian Locrians; but about 455 BC, in spite of a partial resettlement with Locrians of Opus, it fell to the Athenians, who peopled it with Messenian refugees and made it their chief naval station in western Greece during the Peloponnesian war. | | | In Greek legend it appears as the place where the Heraclidae built a fleet to invade the Peloponnesus. | | | In 404 it was restored to the Locrians, who subsequently lost it to the Achaeans, but recovered it through Epaminondas. |
