CA′RYA or CARYA′TIS (καρύα, καρυατίς), a festival celebrated at Caryae, in Laconia, in honour of Artemis Caryatis (Hesych. s.v. Καρύαι). It was celebrated every year by Lacedaemonian maidens (Καρυατίδες) with national dances of a very lively kind (Paus. III.10 § 8; IV.16 § 5; Pollux, IV.104), and with solemn hymns.
