ΥΡΜΙΝΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΗΛΕΙΑ
Hurmine. A town of Elis, upon the coast, mentioned by Homer as one
of the towns of the Epeii. It appears to have been regarded as one of the most
ancient of the Epeian towns, since it is said to have been founded by Actor, the
son of Hyrmine, who was a daughter of Epeius. In the time of Strabo the town had
disappeared, but its site was marked by a rocky promontory near Cyllene, called
Hormina or Hyrmina. Leake supposes that the town occupied the position of Kastro
Tornese, on the peninsula of Klemutzi; but both Boblaye and Curtius, with more
probability, place it further north, at the modern harbour of Kunupeli, where,
on a projecting point of land, are some ancient ruins.
