Mount Kyllini


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyllene or Kyllene herself was a mountain nymph (an oread) who had taken for her consort Pelasges in the most ancient times that Greek mythographers could recall.

There was a port in Elis in Antiquity named Cyllene near the mouth of the Alfeios River, where the traveller Pausanias noted the image of Hermes, "most devoutly worshipped by the inhabitants, is merely the male member upright on the pedestal." Several nearby modern places are also named Kyllini.
