MINERVA. Promontorium (anc. geogr.), the seat of the Sirens, a promontory in the Sinus Pacificus, the south boundary of Campania on the Tuscan coast; so called from a temple of Minerva on it: situate to the south of Surrentum, and therefore called Surrentinum. Now Capo della Minerva, on the west coast of Naples, over-against the island Capri.
