what was the original name of the cape of good hope?
`` cape of storms ''
when following the western side of the african coastline from the equator, however, the cape of good hope marks the point where a ship begins to travel more eastward than southward. thus, the first modern rounding of the cape in 1488 by portuguese explorer bartolomeu dias was a milestone in the attempts by the portuguese to establish direct trade relations with the far east (although herodotus mentioned a claim that the phoenicians had done so far earlier). dias called the cape "cabo das tormentas" ("cape of storms"; ), which was the original name of the "cape of good hope".
