EspañolTHRINACIA
:''For Trinacria as an alternate name for modern Sicily and for its triskeles symbol, see Trinacria.''
'Thrinacia' or 'Trinacria', mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, is the island home of Helios' cattle, guarded by his eldest daughter, Lampetia, said to have been Sicily since the name Thrinacia implies an island connected to the number 3 and Sicily has three corners.
The fact that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer's locations.
