Zerynthus (Template:Lang-grc; Template:Lang-la[1]) was a town of the Apsynthii in Thrace which had a temple of Apollo[2] and Artemis. Because of that two deities derived the epithet of Zerynthian.[3]

According to Lycophron's Alexandra, this was the location of Zerynthos or Zirynthia, a cave sacred to Hecate.[4]
