Epimenides is a lunar crater that is located in the southwestern part of the Moon's near side, just to the east of the Hainzel crater formation. Just to the north and northeast is Lacus Timoris, a small lunar mare.
The outer rim of this crater is roughly circular, but uneven due to the irregular terrain in which it is located. The southern edge is distended where a smaller formation has overlapped the side. The interior floor is relatively level and featureless.
