Addendum on Ogygia

Ogygia, in Homer's Odyssey, the island of Calypso. It is described by Homer as being far away to the west beyond Scheria (generally identified in antiquity with Corcyra), and as the ‘navel of the sea’; but it is not clear whether it was thought of as being in the Mediterranean or in the Ocean further west.

from http://www.answers.com/topic/ogygia
therefore it is fitting to place this island outside the medittereanean and part of the age of Atlantis in Odysseus time.

ok more tomorrow.
