The Balkans. Ancient Greece ["True Story" by Lucian Samosatsky (2nd century): 1) "After sailing about three hundred stages, we approached a small and deserted island, where we had enough water, because we have it She was gone, they shot two wild bulls with a bow and sailed on. The bulls did not have these horns on their heads, but under their eyes, as Mom wanted them to. Soon we entered the sea, which consisted not of water but milk, and in it we saw a white island covered with grapes. This island consisted of huge cheese, as we later learned after tasting it; it had twenty-five stages in circumference. The vines were covered with clusters, from which, when squeezing, we did not drink wine, but milk. A temple dedicated to Nereid Galatea the Milkmaid was built in the middle of the island, as the inscription said. As long as we stayed on this island, the land provided us with food and bread, and the drink was milk from the bunches. We learned that this island is dominated by Tyro Syrrnitsa, the daughter of Salomone, who was honored by Poseidon after her death. We stayed on this island for five days, and on the sixth we sailed further, as the wind was fair and the sea was very smooth. On the eighth day, when we were no longer sailing on the sea of milk, but on the salty and blue sea, we saw a large number of people running across the sea. They looked very much like us in body and size, but their legs were special, made of cork, which is why I think they were called "Corkkonogikh". We were surprised to see that they were not drowning, but holding on the waves and walking along them fearlessly"; 2) from the description of the Isle of the Blessed, which is ruled by the Cretan Radamant: "Their whole land is full of them with flowers and covered with shady garden trees. Grapes bear fruit twelve times a year, that is, every month; pomegranates, apple trees and other fruit trees even thirteen times a year, since in one month named after Minosa they are twice they produce crops. Instead of grains, bread grows like mushrooms on the tops of ears. Three hundred and sixty-five water sources flow around the city and the same number of rivers to honey, fifty smaller rivers flow myrrh, seven rivers flow with milk and eight wine" (trans. K.W. Trever)]: Luc. Ver. Hist. II. 3-4, 13.
