 Malalas' account of Dictys, however, tells us that Circe and Calypso were sisters ruling over neighbouring islands; that Odysseus visited a lake called Nekyopompos ("guide of the dead") near the sea, whose inhabitants were seers; that he passed some rocks called the Seirenidai; and Cedrenus' account seems to identify Scheria with Corfu, or at least an island near Ithaca.Numerous places in Italy and northern Greece also had aetiological legends about cities and other institutions founded by Odysseus on his various travels.Among these foundation myths the continuation of Odysseus's travels told in the "Telegony" is at least as important as the wanderings reported in the "Odyssey".
