Cynossema (Ancient Greek: Κυνὸς σῆμα and Κυνόσσημα)[1] and Cynosemon (Κυνόσημον),[2] meaning Dog's Tomb, was a promontory on the eastern coast of the Thracian Chersonesus, near the town of Madytus.
It was near the modern town of Kilidülbahir.
[3] According to the legend it took its name ("Dog's Tomb") from the fact that Hecuba was changed into a dog and her tomb was there.
[4] The naval Battle of Cynossema took place there in 411 BC during the Peloponnesian War.
