  • Tartessos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Tartessos (also Tartessus) was a harbor city and its surrounding culture on the south coast of the Iberian peninsula (in modern Andalusia, Spain), at the mouth of the Guadalquivir river. It was mentioned by Herodotus,[1] Strabo,[2] in Pliny's Natural History,[3] and in the fourth-century Avienus's literary travel itinerary Ora Maritima, long after Tartessos had disappeared. Velleius Paterculus 9; date for the founding of Tartessos, about eighty years after the Trojan War but before the time when the Phoenicians made contact with an existing city, has not received archaeological confirmation: the bulk of finds date from Punic occupation, after ca 500 BCE.[4]
  • Himilco the Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Himilco (Phoenician Chimilkāt, also known as Himilco I), a Carthaginian navigator and explorer, lived during the height of Carthaginian power, the 5th century BC. Himilco is the first known explorer from the Mediterranean Sea to reach the northwestern shores of Europe. His lost account of his adventures is quoted by Roman writers. The oldest reference to Himilco's voyage is a brief mention in Pliny's Natural History (2.169a) by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder. [1] Himilco was quoted three times by Rufus Festus Avienus, who wrote a poetical account of the geography in the 4th century AD.
