The Fourni archipelago, [Click on map for full size image...]

is right in the passage between between the Greek islands of Samos and Ikaria (a great place to cause shipwrecks), and, is in a very historic region:

Fourni is just 20 miles north of the island of Patmos , where John, the Disciple was exiled when he wrote the book of Revelation.

And, Samos, of course, was the home of Pythagoras of Samos -- of right triangle hypotenuse fame...

[Verginius Rufus]

Samos was also the birthplace of Aristarchus of Samos, whose heliocentric theory (that the earth and planets circle around the sun instead of everything circling around the earth) was known to Copernicus.

Imagine piloting a ship around there in the old days. Man, you could get lost in a hurry.
