I’ll have to check this out later. Recently I’ve been looking into strange stuff about the Azores, which are right near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Did you know there’s an ancient site on the Azores that matches pretty closely with the description of Calypso’s cave on the “mythical” isle of Ogygia from the Odyssey?
Ogygia was an ancient name for Egypt. Butler claimed that the Odyssey uses various sites on Sicily, and that it was written by a woman. I never have liked the Odyssey, and haven’t much cared for the Iliad either, but just from the translations I’ve had access to over the years, it’s clear they weren’t written by the same author (or authors). The Odyssey comes off as an ancient romance novel.
