Belerion ( , also Latinised as Belerium or Bolerium) was the southwest promontory of Great Britain as described by Pythéas in the 4th century B.C.. Pythéas' original work has not survived, however he is epitomised by the 1st century B.C. historian Diodorus and the 2nd century A.D. geographer Ptolemy. Its inhabitants, otherwise unnamed, were said to be "hospitable to strangers" because of their tinworking industry, corresponding with the modern counties of Cornwall and Devon.
