has gloss | eng: Laüs or Laus or Laos (Greek:), was an ancient city on the west coast of Lucania, at the mouth of the river of the same name, which formed the boundary between Lucania and Bruttium; the site of Laüs is in the frazione of Marcellina in the comune of Santa Maria del Cedro, Province of Cosenza, Calabria region, Italy. (Strabo vi. pp. 253, 254.) It was a Greek city, and a colony of Sybaris; but the date of its foundation is unknown, and we have very little information as to its history. Herodotus tells us that, after the destruction of Sybaris in 510 BCE, the inhabitants who survived the catastrophe took refuge in Laüs and Scidrus (Herod. vi. 20); but he does not say, as has been supposed, that these cities were then founded by the Sybarites: it is far more probable that they had been settled long before, during the greatness of Sybaris, when Poseidonia (Posidonia) also was planted by that city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. |

has gloss | ita: Laos era un'antica città che sorgeva sulla riva destra del fiume Laus ("Laos" in lingua greca), fondata dagli abitanti di Sibari che erano fuggiti dalla distruzione della loro città, avvenuta nel 510 a.C. in seguito alla guerra contro Crotone. Al tempo di Plinio la città era già scomparsa. I tipi della monetazione di Laos (il toro) indicano i legami con Sibari, le cui monete avevano lo stesso tipo. Secondo il grande storico romano Strabone, Laos era grande quanto Pompei. |
