Chelonatas (Chelonatas), a promontory of Achaia, and the most westerly
point of the Peloponnesus, distant, according to Pliny, two miles from Cyllene.
(Strab. viii. pp. 335, 338, 342; Paus. i. 2. § 4; Agathem. i. 5; Plin. iv. 5.
s. 6; Mel. ii. 3.) It has been disputed whether Chelonatas corresponds to C. Glarentza
(Klarentza) or to C. Tornese, both of them being promontories of the peninsula
of Khlemutzi. There can be little doubt, however, that C. Tornese, the most southerly
of the two, is the ancient Chelonatas, both because there is near it the small
island mentioned by Strabo, and because it is distant two miles from Glarentza,
the ancient Cyllene. It is probable, however, that the name Chelonatas was originally
given to the whole peninsula of Khlemutzi, from its supposed resemblance to a
tortoise. (Leake, Peloponnesiaca, p. 210.)
