From Pausanias:
About a stade distant from Caphyae is a place called Condylea, where
there are a grove and a temple of Artemis called of old Condyleatis.
They say that the name of the goddess was changed for the following
reason. Some children, the number of whom is not recorded, while
playing about the sanctuary found a rope, and tying it round the neck
of the image said that Artemis was being strangled.
Phrygian Kandaules was supposed to mean "dog-strangler". Could Kandaules and Kondyleatis be cognates? If there is such relationship, how to explain it? A Pre-Greek substratum in Arcadia akin to Phrygians?
