FICTITIOUS GEOGRAPHY
‘Straights’ (or ‘narrows’) necessarily
have an association with ‘capes’ (though the inverse
is not necessarily true), such that the situation of this straight
is diametrically opposite that of Leukas (Lovis¼te), and may be
schematically represented thus:
| Leukas |
Neriton(Peljesac) |
Kharybdis |

The geonym
for this geographical concept--that is, a place where Odysseus
claimed to have suffered yet another disaster--is the only instance
of an outright invention--a bold ‘lie’ if you wish,
knowing the character of Odysseus ‘of the many wiles’--for
all other geonyms of Fictitious Geography are nothing more than
new names for already extant geonyms).
