ΛΑΤΜΟΣ (Βουνό) ΚΑΡΙΑ
Latmus (Latmos), a mountain of Caria, rising at the head of the Latmic
bay, and stretching along in a north-western direction. (Strab. xiv. p. 635 ;
Apollon. Rhod. iv. 57; Plin. v. 31 ; Pomp. Mel. i. 17.) It is properly the western
offshoot of Mount Albanus or Albacus. This mountain is probably alluded to by
Homer (Il. ii. 868), when he speaks of the mountain of the Phthirians, in the
neighbourhood of Miletus. In Greek mythology, Mount Latmus is a place of some
celebrity, being described as the place where Artemis (Luna) kissed the sleeping
Endymion. In later times there existed on the mountain a sanctuary of Endymion,
and his tomb was shown in a cave. (Apollod. i. 7. § 5 ; Hygin. Fab. 271; Ov. Trist.
ii. 299; Val. Flacc. iii. 28; Paus. v. 1. § 4; Stat. Silv. iii. 4. § 40.)

Latmus (Latmos). A mountain in Caria, extending in a southeast direction from the Sinus Latmicus. It was the mythological scene of the story of Selene (Luna) and Endymion, who is hence called by the Roman poets Latmius heros and Latmius venator.
