I set out one day from the Pillars of Hercules and sailed with a following wind into the western ocean. My voyage was prompted by an active intellect and a passionate interest in anything new; the object I proposed to myself was to discover the limits of the ocean and what men dwelt beyond it. For this reason I took a great deal of food on board, and plenty of water. I got hold of fifty men of my own age and interests, as well as quite a store of arms, hired the best navigator I could find at a considerable salary, and strengthened the ship – a light transport – for a long and trying voyage.
For a day and a night we sailed along gently with land still in sight. At dawn the next day the wind began to rise, the sea grew stormy, and the sky was overcast. Soon we could not even take in sail; so we ran before the wind and let ourselves be tossed hither and thither for seventy-nine days. On the eightieth the sun came out suddenly, and we saw a mountainous, thickly wooded island close by, with the sea murmuring gently around it – for by now the swell had almost subsided. So we put in and went ashore. There we lay on the ground for a long time, after our long ordeal; however, we did get up, and split ourselves into two parties, thirty staying to guard the ship and twenty coming with me to explore the island.
– Lucian, from A True Story (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by B.P. Reardon (1989)
