what was the original name of the cape of good hope?
cape peninsula
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".
