More info: The first written record of Cape Verde can be found in the works "De choreographia" by Pomponius Mela ( died 45 CE/AD ) and "Historia naturalis" by Pliny the Elder ( died 79 CE/AD ). They called the islands "Gorgades" in remembering the home of the mythical Gorgons killed by Perseus and afterwards - in typically ancient euhemerism - interpreted (against the written original statement) as the site where the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator slew two female "Gorillai" and brought their skins into the temple of the female deity Tanit (the Carthaginian Juno) in Carthage.
