The word smintheus is thought to come from the word "sminthos", which means "mouse". Apollo killed the mice that damaged agriculture with his arrows and punished the bad people with the diseases (plague etc.) he produced from mice. At the same time, Apollo had prophesied by looking at the water in this sanctuary and served many people. There are mouse figurines on the stairs of the sanctuary at the entrance.
