    According to the ancient authors, the mountains in the neighbourhood of Iasos were a source of beautiful marble, of blood-red and vivid white colour, ideal for ornamental purposes. Near the town was a sanctuary of Artemis Astias, with a statue of the goddess, and just as it was widely believed that the statue of the Kindyan Artemis, although in the open air, was never touched by snow or rain, so was the statue of Artemis Astias believed by the Iaseis.
