Stenyclarus or Stenyklaros (Ancient Greek: Στενύκλαρος), or Stenyclerus or Stenykleros (Στενύκληρος), was a town in the north of ancient Messenia, and the capital of the Dorian conquerors, built by Cresphontes. Andania had been the ancient capital of the country.[1][2] The town afterwards ceased to exist, but its name was given to the northern of the two Messenian plains.[3][4]
