Plutarch, Homer [1][1][1][1] , Hesiod, Plato and other ancient authors provide detailed descriptions of heroic voyages like the Argonauts, Cronus, Heracles and Odysseus to areas “beyond the ocean”.[2][2][2][2]The details in their narratives are striking. Are they simply poetic descriptions designed to capture the attention of their audiences, or do they perhaps refer to real voyages that were frequently made by ancient mariners, and the travel details were commonly known? And if this is so, who had access to this knowledge?Plutarch,Moralia p181 Concerning the Face Which Appears in the Orb of the Moon published in Vol. XII of the Loeb Classical Library edition, 1957 :A run of five days off from Britain as you sail westward; and three other islands equally distant from it and from one another lie out from it in the general direction of the summer sunset. In one of these, according to the tale told by the natives, Cronus is confined by Zeus, and the antique Briareus, holding watch and ward over those islands and the sea that p183 they call the Cronian main, has been settled close beside him.The great mainland, by which the great ocean is encircled, while not so far from the other islands, is about five thousand stades from Ogygia,the voyage being made by oar, for the main is slow to traverse and muddy as a result of the multitude of streams. The streams are discharged by the great land-mass and produce alluvial deposits, thus giving density and earthiness to the sea, which has been thought actually to be congealed.On the coast of the mainland Greeks dwell about a gulf which is not smaller than the Maeotis and the mouth of the Caspian sea. These people consider and call themselves continentals and the inhabitants of this land islanders because the sea flows around it on all sides; and they believe that with the peoples of Cronus there mingled at a later time those who arrived in the train of Heracles and were left behind by him and that these latter so to speak rekindled again to a strong, high flame the Hellenic spark there which was already being quenched and overcome by the tongue, the laws, and the manners of the barbarians.[3][3][3][3]Abstact from : Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De FacieDescribe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[4][4][4][4]In Plutarch’s[5][5][5][5] book On the Apparent Face in the Orb of the Moon, the interlocutors develop a dialogue about a trip to the‘‘great continent’’beyond the North Atlantic Ocean. By applying modern scientific data, the present reappraisal of the astronomical and geographical elements within this dialogue has produced a novel interpretation of the date and place ofthe meeting and a journey to the northern Atlantic Ocean. A described solar eclipse is dated to AD 75, making use of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Espenak/Meeus list, as well as historical information.The described peculiar, recurrent trips take place every 30 years (when the planet Saturn reaches the Taurus constellation)from the Mediterranean Sea to the Cronian Open Sea, which is identified with northern Atlantic Ocean coasts.It has been suggested that the last mission had returned homeland in April AD 56. The information provided concerns,distances between coastal sites and islands, duration of sea paths in days, and the reported setting and size between the destination place and its gulf with regards to Azov (in Crimea) and the Caspian Sea.Implications of sea currents and the coastal geomorphology of those lands are given. Following strictly the Gulf Stream current, as well as other known sea currents in the northern Atlantic Ocean, and introducing estimated speed for the ship, the geographical location of destination of the Greek settlers is proposedly identified with St. Lawrence Gulf and Newfoundland island[6][6][6][6].Other unnamed islands mentioned in this dialogue are identified with Norway’s islands, Azores, Iceland, Greenland, and Baffinislands.[7][7][7][7]It has been shown that the journey is made with good knowledge of sea currents but by using bright stars and stellar configurations as astronomical nightscape markers that determine the exact orientation of the sailing toward the Iberian Peninsula and back to the eastern Mediterranean, making the current working hypothesis a plausible event. Plutarch stresses that in this distant country, Greeks are living who speak Greek. Also, he notes that Greeks are transported in these trips since the time of legendary Hercules Plutarch, 1960, 941C), rather a heroic figure that echoes heroic epics and myths back in Late Helladic times (13th–11th century BC).Who does not understand this:A run of five days off from Britain as you sail westward; and three other islands equally distant from it and from one another lie out from it in the general direction of the summer sunset ***.These are not clear coordinates to locate the currents?Τhe research data, shows that τhe geographical location of destination of the Greek settlers, as Plutarch describes, it is is proposedly identified with St. Lawrence Gulf and Newfoundland island.[8][8][8][8]In the same area in the northern part of the island arrived much later and the Vikings in 1000 ADThe picture shows the comparison of the routes of the Greeks, in the first century AD (57 ad), and of the various Viking missions in 1000 ADViking ship:Phoenician shipMinoan ships[9][9][9][9]Or the Mycenaean shipsArgo is a ship of the time of Hercules[10][10][10][10]It seems that there was know-how for these trips...There is another story also ... about the relocation of Spartan settlers to Chile via the Pacific Ocean:Also the award winning book : Journey to the mythological inferno : America's discovery by the ancient GreeksYannis Pantazis…Φιλοσοφούμεν γαρ άνευ μαλακίας…Footnotes[1] http:// https://www.amazon.com/wine-dark-sea-Homers-Atlantic/dp/B0006CHG68[1] http:// https://www.amazon.com/wine-dark-sea-Homers-Atlantic/dp/B0006CHG68[1] http:// https://www.amazon.com/wine-dark-sea-Homers-Atlantic/dp/B0006CHG68[1] http:// https://www.amazon.com/wine-dark-sea-Homers-Atlantic/dp/B0006CHG68[2] ENSKIA[2] ENSKIA[2] ENSKIA[2] ENSKIA[3] Plutarch • On the Face in the Moon (Part 4 of 4)[3] Plutarch • On the Face in the Moon (Part 4 of 4)[3] Plutarch • On the Face in the Moon (Part 4 of 4)[3] Plutarch • On the Face in the Moon (Part 4 of 4)[4] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[4] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[4] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[4] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[5] Plutarch (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)[5] Plutarch (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)[5] Plutarch (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)[5] Plutarch (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)[6] Gulf of Saint Lawrence - Wikipedia[6] Gulf of Saint Lawrence - Wikipedia[6] Gulf of Saint Lawrence - Wikipedia[6] Gulf of Saint Lawrence - Wikipedia[7] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCHUG0PpR5M[7] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCHUG0PpR5M[7] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCHUG0PpR5M[7] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCHUG0PpR5M[8] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[8] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[8] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[8] (PDF) Does Astronomical and Geographical Information of Plutarch's De Facie Describe a Trip Beyond the North Atlantic Ocean?[9] Sailing Against Conventional Wisdom[9] Sailing Against Conventional Wisdom[9] Sailing Against Conventional Wisdom[9] Sailing Against Conventional Wisdom[10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNb3F7ipz_8[10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNb3F7ipz_8[10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNb3F7ipz_8[10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNb3F7ipz_8
