I’m going to leave this window open, to remember to show this to DrO first thing in the morning. I’m absolutely amazed. Don’t know what else to say! Thank you so much, as always, dearest SunkenCiv!

The island near where this was found sounds like a good place to go if you want some peace and quiet. It's half-way between Cythera and Crete, is about 8 square miles in area and has a population of 44 people.

Cythera, about 20 miles to the north, was associated with the goddess Aphrodite--which inspired Watteau's painting Embarcation for Cythera.
