Cape Agrilia (Greek: Άκρα Αγριλιά, romanized: Ákra Agriliós), anciently Malea (Ancient Greek: Μαλέα)[1][2] or Malia (Μαλία)[3] or Mania (Μανία),[4] Latin: Malia Promontorium,[5] is the southeasternmost point of the island of Lesbos.
[5] Immediately opposite, on the mainland, is Kane Peninsula (anciently known as Cane, Aega, or Aiga) now in Turkey, and the Arginusae islands.
Xenophon says that the fleet of Callicratidas occupied this station before the sea-fight off Arginusae.
Thucydides is more confused; he says distinctly that Malea lay to the north of Mytilene, which is inconsistent with the position of Cape Agrilia.
[1] Possibly the Malea of Thucydides had some connection with the sanctuary of Apollo Maloeis.
