Liner
notes -
"The Columns Of Herakles" or "The Pillars
of Hercules" (Latin, Columnae Herculis) was the phrase
that was applied in Antiquity to the rocks that flank the
entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar.
According
to Greek mythology adopted by the Etruscans and Romans,
when Hercules had to perform twelve labours, one of them
was to fetch the Cattle of Geryon of the far West and
bring them to Eurystheus, and this marked the westward
extent of his travels. A lost passage of Pindar quoted
by Strabo was the earliest reference in this context:
"the pillars which Pindar calls the 'gates of Gades'
when he asserts that they are the farthermost limits reached
by Heracles." According to Plato's account, the lost
realm of Atlantis was situated beyond the Pillars of Hercules,
in effect placing it in the realm of the Unknown.
