Cynossema

Cynossema (Κυνὸς σῆμα and Κυνόσσημα) and Cynosemon (Κυνόσημον), meaning Dog's Tomb, was a promontory on the eastern coast of the Thracian Chersonesus, near the town of Madytus. It was near the modern town of Kilidülbahir.

According to the legend it took its name ("Dog's Tomb") from the fact that Hecuba was changed into a dog and her tomb was there.

The naval Battle of Cynossema took place there in 411 BC during the Peloponnesian War.
