Scheria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (102 words)
In Greek mythology, Σχερία (Scheria, Skhería, or Phaeacia), was an island, the homeland of the Phaeacians.
Approximately nine centuries after Homer and twenty centuries before present, Strabo proposed that Skhería, the island of the Phaeacians was located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Greek word Φαίακες (Phaeacians) is derived from the word φαιός (phaios) thus meaning dark-skinned, which supports Strabo's proposition.
