Arethusa or Arethousa (Ancient Greek: Ἀρέθουσα) was a town of Bisaltia (or of easternmost Mygdonia) in ancient Macedonia, in the pass of , north of Stageira, near to Bolbe Lake, and a little north of Bromiscus, and celebrated for containing the sepulchre of Euripides. We learn from the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax (100.67) that it was an ancient Greek colony. It was probably founded by the Chalcidians of Euboea, who may have called it after the celebrated fountain in the neighbourhood of their city. Stephanus of Byzantium erroneously calls it a city of Thrace. It was either from this place or from Bromiscus that the fortified town of arose, which is frequently mentioned by the Byzantine historians.

  • Η Αρέθουσα η Μυγδονική ήταν αρχαιότατη πόλη στη Μυγδονία της Μακεδονίας επί της δυτικής όχθης του Ρηχίου ποταμού που φέρνει τα νερά της λίμνης Βόλβης στο Στρυμονικό Κόλπο. Η αρχαία Αρέθουσα από τις μέχρι σήμερα αρχαιολογικές μελέτες εντοπίζεται στην περιοχή της Ρεντίνας (Στενά της Ρεντίνας ή όπως ονομάζονται Μακεδονικά Τέμπη) μέχρι τη σημερινή κοινότητα Αρέθουσας (10 χλμ βόρεια). Η πόλη αυτή υπήρξε αποικία των Ιώνων και κτίσμα των Χαλκιδέων. Εικάζεται ότι στην Αρέθουσα ενταφιάστηκε ο μεγάλος τραγικός ποιητής Ευριπίδης και στη συνέχεια ανεγέρθηκε μέγα μνήμα από τον Βασιλιά της Μακεδονίας Αρχέλαο. Κατά την ελληνιστική εποχή, άποικοι από την πόλη ίδρυσαν την Αρέθουσα στη Συρία και από αυτήν την Αρέθουσα στην Αραβία. (el)
