Halonnesos (Barrington Atlas map 57 grid D2, 40 km. south of
Lemnos) nowadays known as Ag. Eustratios (or Strati); and, oddly, 'Alonnissos' (a National Marine Park for the protection of the Mediterranean monk seal) is another island altogether, the one some distance to the SW that the ancients knew as
