 Herodotus and Thucydides do not actively euhemerise, but simply take local myths at face value for the political importance they had at the time.Euhemerist accounts become more prominent in Alexandrian scholarship of the Hellenistic period.Callimachus identifies Scheria as Corcyra, and also identifies Calypso's island with Gaudos (modern Gozo, part of Malta).
