Leucophrys was a town in the plain of the Maeander River, belonging to ancient Caria and later to Ionia. It stood on the shore of a lake whose water was hot and in constant commotion, and it possessed a highly revered sanctuary of Artemis, who was here surnamed Artemis Leucophryene. The poet Nicander praised the town for its fine roses.
