A town in Messenia; now Scardamoula.
Kardamule: Eth. Kardamulites. A town of Messenia, and one of the seven places offered by Agamemnon to Achilles. (Il. ix. 150, 292.) It was situated on a strong rocky height at the distance of seven stadia from the sea, and sixty from Leuctra. (Paus. iii. 26. § 7; Strab. viii.) It is called a Laconian town by Herodotus (viii. 73), since the whole of Messenia was included in the territories of Laconia at the time of the historian. It again became a town of Messenia on the restoration of the independence of the latter; but it was finally separated from Messenia by Augustus, and annexed to Laconia. (Paus. l. c.) Pausanias mentions at Cardamyle sanctuaries of Athena and of Apollo Carneius; and in the neighbourhood of the town a temenus of the Nereids. There are considerable ruins of the town to the NE. of the modern Skardhamula, at the distance of 1300 (French) metres from the sea.
