xvi; 471:
"And [says Eumaios] this further thing I know, for I saw
it with my eyes. I was now above the city, as I went on my way,
where the hill of Hermes is, when I saw a swift ship putting
into our harbour, and there were many men in her, and she was
laden with shields and double pointed spears."
xvii; 204:
But when, as they went along the rugged path, they were near
the city, and had come to a well-wrought, fair-flowing fountain,
wherefrom the townsfolk drew water--this Ithacus had made, and
Neritus, and Polyctor, and around was a grove of poplars, that
grow by the waters, circling it on all sides, and down the cold
water flowed from the rock above, and on the top was built an
altar to the nymphs where all passers-by made offerings--there
Melantheus, son of Dolius, met them as he was driving his she-goats,
the best that were in all the herds, to make a feast for the
wooers...
The name of
Casnik is derived from the Sb-Cro. casa, 'a drinking glass', 'vessel',
'receptacle'.

xiii, 404:
"And for thyself [says Athene to Odysseus], do thou go
first of all to the swineherd who keeps thy swine, and withal
has a kindly heart towards thee, and loves thy son and constant
Penelope. Thou wilt find him abiding by the swine, and they
are feeding by the rock of Corax and the spring Arethusa, eating
acorns to their heart's content and drinking the black water,
things which cause the rich flesh of swine to wax fat."
xiv, 1, et pas.:
But Odysseus went forth from the harbour by the rough path up
over the woodland and through the heights to the place where
Athene had shewed him that he should find the goodly swineheard,
who cared for his substance above all the slaves that goodly
Odysseus had gotten.
He found him sitting in the forehall of his house, where his
court was built high in a place of wide outlook, a great and
goodly court with an open space around it. This the swineherd
had himself built for the swine of his master, that was gone,
without the knowledge of his mistress and the old man Laertes.
With huge stones had he built it, and set on it a coping of
thorn. Without he had driven stakes the whole length, this way
and that, huge stakes, set close together, which he had made
by splitting an oak to the black core; and within the court
he had made twelve sties close by one another, as beds for theswine,
and in each one were penned fifty wallowing swine, females breeding;
but the boars slept without. These were far fewer in numbers,
for on them the godlike wooers feasted, and lessened them, for
the swineherd ever sent in the best of all the fatted hogs,
which numbered three hundred and sixty. By these ever slept
four dogs, savage as wild beasts, which the swineherd had reared,
a leader of men.

-Athene, salt..
-geonym geographically close to Krokyleia (metathesis > Korcula).
The Greek meaning 'Raven Rock' way well be so, but the Illyrian
-kor- soft, (corkey), hard, corythos, coraza,
The site seems a natural vantage point of the southern horizon
Odysseus arrives, salted, as it were, like a ham.

Neion
[Nerion]: Bartolomija 228 mts.
The hill which might rightly be regarded as the land-mass which is
the beginning of the Peljesac peninsula between Mali Ston on the north
and Ston on the south which at the deep end of Rheithron (Mali Ston
Canal): |
i; 185:
"My [Mentes'] ship lies yonder beside the fields away from
the city, in the harbour of Rheithron, under woody Neion."
iii; 81:*
"We [says Telemkhos] have come from Ithaca that is below
Neion..."
*This line
reads like an interpolation, for Ithaka is not below Neion, but,
rather, Samos (thus making Telemakhos unacquainted with his very
own city), else the term 'below' must convey the sense of 'away,
off to the west'
