Heligoland!
That reminds me of a private project that I am working on. As a keen reader 
on aristocratic cultures I am looking for all the traditional codes and 
beliefs that the personages adhere to in Homer's Odyssey. Anyway, later 
sources tell me that several scholars believe the island of the Phaeaecians, 
Scheria, to be Heligoland. When you read about the vegetation and the 
geographic & geophysical construction of Scheria in the Odyssey, you wonder 
how people were led to believe this. Could anyone tell us more about this?

Best regards,

Marcel.
