{{Short description|Mountain in Euboea, Greece}} '''Mount Lichada''' and '''Cape Lichada'''<ref>Some sources incorrectly call it '''Lithada'''</ref> ({{langx|el|Χερσόνησος Λιχάδα|Chersonesos Lichada}}) is a mountain and cape forming the northwest tip of the island of Euboea, Greece. Their ancient name was Κήναιον ''Kenaion'', Latinized as '''Cenaeum'''. There is a village called Lichada on the slopes of Mount Lichada. Not far from the mount is the site of the ancient town of Dium.<ref>{{Barrington Atlas|page=55}}</ref>
Mount Lichada is {{convert|677|m}} high.
On top of Mount Kenaion, there was an altar and sanctuary of Zeus Kenaios (Ζεύς Κήναιος). It was here, Sophocles tells us, that Heracles dedicated altars to Ζεύς Πατρῴος (Zeus Patroos), made sacrifices, and donned the Shirt of Nessus brought to him by Lichas.<ref>Arthur Bernard Cook, ''Zeus: A Study in Ancient Religion'', 1925, p. 902 [https://books.google.com/books?id=9iShet_ZtHAC&pg=PA902 Google Books]</ref> When he realized that it was a lethal gift, he flung Lichas into the sea.
