Ogygia - Where Is It?

Geographical account by Plutarch

Plutarch also gives an account on the location of Ogygia:

 

First I will tell you the author of the piece, if there is no objection, who begins after Homer’s fashion with, an isle Ogygian lies far out at sea, distant five days’ sail from Britain, going westwards, and three others equally distant from it, and from each other, are more opposite to the summer visits of the sun; in one of which the barbarians fable that Cronus is imprisoned by Zeus, whilst his son lies by his side, as though keeping guard over those islands and the sea, which they call ‘the Sea of Cronus. The great continent by which the great sea is surrounded on all sides, they say, lies less distant from the others, but about five thousand stadia from Ogygia, for one sailing in a rowing-galley; for the sea is difficult of passage and muddy through the great number of currents, and these currents issue out of the great land, and shoals are formed by them, and the sea becomes clogged and full of earth, by which it has the appearance of being solid.[7]
Plutarch, Moralia, Concerning the Face Which Appears in the Orb of the Moon

Patience, Perseverance and Poverty.

Alejandro Jodorowsky said that to make films three virtues are prerequisite; patience, perseverance and poverty.

This week both Martin and Ulick cancelled our scheduled meetings. Next week perhaps? In the meantime, I'll try and sell some furniture.
