The Pillars of Hercules refers to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. In Roman Mythology, while on his way to the garden of the Hesperides on Erytheia, Hercules had to cross the mountain that was once Atlas. Instead he smashed through it and connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea forming the Strait of Gibraltar.  image: Deb & Jim's Travel Adventures: Ceuta, Morocco Nature, Pillars Of Hercules, Rock Of Gibraltar, Strait Of Gibraltar, British Overseas Territories, 1 June, Grece Antique, Small City, Roman Mythology

The eastern most strip of Morocco is controlled by Spain, hence the name Spanish Morocco. Ceuta is a small city with not a lot to see or do. Ceuta is 10 miles from the city of Gibralter, which means the rock of Gibralter is visible from it. Gibralter is controlled by Great Britain. When we woke up this morning we could see it in the distance. The bad news is we could also see all the pollution that hangs out above the water. The Pillars of Hercules stand on either side of the harbor…

(Read Part One) Turning to the second “point of agreement” about the location of Atlantis is the highly disputed location of the ‘Pillars of Hercules’. Many scholars identified the Pillars with the Straits of Gibraltar and mistook the Platonic Atlantic Pelagos (large and extensive area) for the Atlantic Ocean. Plato however has used his own interpretation about Atlantis and the Atlantic Pelagos.
