History
Caenepolis or Kainepolis, also called Caene or Kaine (Καινή), was an Ancient Greek town of Laconia on the Mani Peninsula north of Cape Matapan. It is probably the same town mentioned by Strabo under the corrupt form Cinaedium or Kinaidion (Κιναίδιον). It contained a temple of Demeter and another of Aphrodite, the latter near the sea.
