Selinus (Laconia)

Selinus or Selinous (Ancient Greek: Σελινοῦς) was a village in the north of ancient Laconia, described by Pausanias as 20 stadia from Geronthrae; but as Pausanias seems not to have visited this part of Laconia, the distances may not be correct.^[1]

Its site is located northwest the modern Geraki.^[2]^[3]
