Cnemides or Knemides ( Ancient Greek: Κνημῖδες), also Cnemis or Knemis (Κνῆμις), [1] is the name of a fortress, and probably of a town, in ancient Phocis. Strabo places Cnemides on Cape Cnemides opposite the islands called Lichades and the Euboean promontory Cenaeum, distant 20 stadia from Thronium and from Daphnus. [2] [3] [4] The Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, successively describing towns along the Phocian coast, places Cnemides after Thronium and before Elateia and Panopeus. [1] [5]
The site of Cnemides is near the modern Gouvali. [6] [7]
