Salmone (Ancient Greek: Σαλμώνη) was a town of ancient Elis. Strabo indicates that its name derives from a king of Greek mythology called Salmoneus and he locates it in Pisatis, of which it was one of its eight towns, near Heraclea, next to a fountain that bore the same name and that was where the Enipeus (the modern Lestinitsa) flowed.[1] It was on the road between Olympia and Elis, and although its exact location is not known for sure it was supposed to be north of the current village of Karatula,[2] at the source of the Lestinitsa.[3][4]
