Note 2418 — THE CASSITERIDES, ICTIS, AND THE BRITISH TRADE IN TIN

Reading edition

C. F. Wiberg (Der Einfluss der klassischen Völker, &c., 1867, p. 13) thinks that ‘the promontory of Herakles’, or Hartland Point (Ptolemy, Geogr., ii, 3, § 2), may owe its name to the Phoenician worship of Hercules; but I do not know that any one except Prof. Boyd Dawkins (Early Man in Britain, p. 461) attaches any importance to this suggestion.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
