Cronus
is always a great word to know.
So is Islands of the Blessed. Does it mean:
| the beautiful daughter of Zeus and Leda and wife of Menelaus whose abduction by Paris was the cause of the Trojan War |
| islands in the ocean at the remotest western end of the world, to which the souls of heroes and worthy persons were transported after death |
