SUMMARYAncient texts on a land across the ocean: Diodorus Siculus, Library 5.19-20 (Phoenicians beyond the Pillars of Hercules found a large, fertile island far out in the ocean); "On Marvellous Things Heard" (attributed to Aristotle) section 84 (Carthaginians found an island many days' sail out and banned travel there); Hanno the Navigator's voyage down Africa's Atlantic coast (about 500 BC). Record that the texts say this; which island = Open.
