Lilaea or Lilaia , also Lilaeum or Lilaion , was one of the most important ancient Phocian towns, and a polis , built on the north slopes of Mount Parnassus, and at the sources of the Cephissus.
The name Lilaea appears for the first time in Homer's Iliad as one of the nine Phocian towns which had participated at the Trojan War. Lilaea was named after the Naiad Lilaea, the daughter of the river-god Cephissus, since the city itself was situated close to the sources of the river. A sanctuary dedicated to Artemis and another one, dedicated to the deified river stood there in antiquity. The inhabitants of Lilaea believed that the water of Castalian spring in Delphi was a gift of Cephissus, so some days in the year they threw sweets in the river, thinking that they would surface in Castalia.
