... that there is a myth about the volcanic genesis of Thera? PDF Print E-mail

The volcanic genesis of  Thira seems to be evoked in the myth of Euphemus, one of the Argonauts, who, on the instructions of the local god Triton, threw a lump of earth into the sea, north of  Lake Tritonis (in Tunisia). This lump of earth was transformed into the island of Thira.
