MOUTH OF THE TIDAL INLET UP WHICH ULYSSES SWAM, NOW SALT WORKS OF S. CUSUMANO. THE SAME SPOT (AT THIS POINT OF THE STORY SUPPOSED TO BE IN SCHERIA) WAS ALSO USED BY THE AUTHORESS FOR (1) THE HARBOUR RHEITHRON, i.e. "WITH A CURRENT," IN ITHACA, (2) THE PLACE WHERE ULYSSES LANDED ON HIS RETURN TO ITHACA, (3) THE PLACE WHERE TELEMACHUS LANDED ON HIS RETURN FROM PYLOS TO ITHACA.
