CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

A narrow strip of sandy land stretching along the EUXINE coast of SCYTHIA (BA 23 E–F2), today the Tendra (on the west) and Dzharylgachsky (on the east) peninsulas in Ukraine, between Odessa and the Crimea. Herodotus mentions Achilles’ Racecourse twice as a geographical marker, lying near HYLAEA (4.55, 76.4). Achilles received cult worship at numerous sites across the north Pontic region from the earliest days of Greek COLONIZATION, although the evidence for such activity on Tendra dates to the Hellenistic and Roman periods (Tunkina 2006).
