Ducato
CAPE (dö-kä'tō) (ancient Leukate), an abrupt headland at the S.
W. extremity of Leukes or Santa Maura, one of the Ionian Islands, dreaded by sailors for the fierce currents around it.
On the summit are remains of a temple of Apollo, and from here criminals were anciently cast into the sea. Here, too, tradition fixes the scene of Sappho's fatal leap, and that of Artemisia of Halicarnassus.
