Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord Cape St. George (Шаблон:Lang-el), anciently called Sepias (Шаблон:Lang-grc; Шаблон:Lang-la), is a promontory of Magnesia. Sepias was also the name of a nearby town.

It is celebrated in Greek mythology as the spot where Peleus laid in wait for Thetis, and from whence he carried off the goddess,[1] and in history as the scene of the great shipwreck of the fleet of Xerxes I just before the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE; it is cited by many ancient authors.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Some other ships of Xerxes' fleet crashed near Meliboea.[8]
