Dracanum

Dracanum or Drakanon (Ancient Greek: Δράκονον) was a town of ancient Greece on the island of Icaria. It was located on the easternmost point of the island, on a cape of the same name.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

According to some traditions, Dionysus was born on Cape Dracanum.^[6] According to the fragmentary Homeric Hymn, which commences

For some say it was at Drakanon, others on wind-swept Ikaros, and some say on Naxos, Heaven-born, Eiraphiotes,^[7] but others by the deep-eddying river Alpheios, that Semele conceived and bore you to Zeus who delights in thunder. And others, lord, say that you were born in Thebes; but they are lying, for the father of men and gods bore you far away from men, hiding you from white-armed Hera. There is a certain Nysa, a very high mountain blooming with forests, far from Phoenike, near the streams of Aigyptos... (Shelmerdine translation)^[8]

Its site is located near modern Phanari.^[9][10]
