This page is part of the "tools" section of a site, Plato and his dialogues, dedicated to developing a new interpretation of Plato's dialogues. The "tools" section provides historical and geographical context (chronology, maps, entries on characters and locations) for Socrates, Plato and their time. By clicking on the minimap at the beginning of the entry, you can go to a full size map in which the city or location appears. For more information on the structure of entries and links available from them, read the notice at the beginning of the index of persons and locations.
Name of the cape at the southernmost tip of Attica,
facing the open sea and the Cyclades.
This is the place where Crito says, at the beginning
of the dialogue that bears his name, the ship coming back from Delos
had been spotted, meaning she would be back in Athens
by the next day, that would thus be Socrates' last day (Crito,
43d).
