Sidus or Sidous (Ancient Greek: Σιδοῦς) was a village in ancient Corinthia, on the Saronic Gulf, between Crommyon and Schoenus. It was taken by the Lacedaemonians along with Crommyon in the Corinthian War, but was recovered by Iphicrates.[1][2][3][4]
Its site is located near the modern Sousaki.[5][6]
