The Isles of the Blessed: Real or Greek Myth?

Ancient Greeks believed the Isles of the Blessed could be found over the Atlantic Ocean's western horizon, where the souls of the meritorious faithful live happily without work before proceeding to one of God's many mansions. They carry both mythological and real-world undertones in ancient Greek literature. Today, we explore whether or not a mortal man can visit the paradisical destination.

Nick, use Google Earth Maps, look at Poll na bPeist, "I" pool on inis mòr, Aran Islands, Galway, Ireland. Could it be thev1° meridian associated, with the Isles of the Blessed. In Semitic Gaelic, the word Blessed is translated, as " Beannaithe" - people have yet, to break down that Gaelic & Scottish Gaelic word into "Bean- na- ithe" = Lady of the Feathers. If you look closely, at the cliff face, above the " I" pool ( 1° meridian), you may see that Feather Lady/ LadyBird, carved into the Limestone, the nose of her cliff face, is her watery pool. As Marlowe said, " A face that launched a thousand ships". Worth a few minutes of your time - the ancient secret - 53 ° North 1 ° centre ( Greenwich/ Modern system, 53° North and 9° 45` West). Exposed rock on cliff are like her feather braid.🐞
