Castabus or Kastabos (Ancient Greek: Κάσταβος) was a town of ancient Caria.[1] Diodorus says Hemithea was carried off by Apollo and deified at Castabus.[2] The city came under Rhodian control, as part of the Rhodian Peraia, no later than 300 BC.[3] In 1960, an ancient Greek sanctuary (1st century BC) dedicated to the demigod Hemithea was discovered near the city by the British archaeologists J.M. Cook and W.H. Plommer.[3][4] The sanctuary consists of a temple, a theatre and numerous houses.[3] The theatre follows the common typical layout of Greek theatres, with a wide koilon (auditorium) and a small scene-building.[3]

Its site is located near Pazarlık, Asiatic Turkey.[1][5][6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
