<abstract>
<p>Recent geomorphological, paleoenvironmental, and chronological evidence allows for a reconstruction of the coasts of southwest Iberia during the first millennium BCE that accords with descriptions of the region offered by authors of antiquity, most notably the description by the fourth-century CE Roman writer R. F. Avienus in his poem <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. This poem contains information that appears to date from the sixth century BCE regarding, for instance, the pre-Roman polity of Tartessos. The reliability of this work as a historical source has been questioned for decades. Critics argue that the information is pertinent to our understanding of the literary, rather than historiographical, context of the Late Roman Empire. However, philological as well as historical analyses reveal no clear cause to doubt the documentary value of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. Furthermore, geomorphological research makes it possible to identify most place-names in the poem; for example, the city embraced by the river Tartessos, apparently the political and trade center of the realm, may likely have stood on the present-day spit of La Algaida, which was an isle in the first millennium BCE. While this hypothesis has been advanced elsewhere, this article offers an entirely new set of evidences to support it.<sup>1</sup>

<title>Introduction: a time-honored controversy</title>
<p>&#x201c;<italic>&#xa1;D&#xe9;jate de Avieno y husmea el terreno!</italic>&#x201d; (&#x201c;Forget Avienus and pry into the ground!&#x201d;) reads an injunction that emerged from <italic>V Symposium Internacional de Prehistoria Peninsular</italic> (Fifth International Symposium for Peninsular Prehistory) held in Jerez de La Frontera, Spain, in September 1968. Fifty-five years on, the injunction retains much of its original force among researchers and students of antiquity in southern Iberia (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). Largely initiated and organized by the Spanish archaeologist and historian Joan Maluquer de Motes, the Jerez symposium had one single matter on the agenda: the pre-Roman kingdom of Tartessos. Maluquer felt that some form of recapitulation was needed in Tartessian studies as the rapid development of archaeology in southern Iberia from the late 1950s seemed to have called into question the prevailing paradigm. While this paradigm could almost be named &#x201c;the Schulten-Garc&#xed;a y Bellido paradigm,&#x201d; after two of its most authoritative exponents, Adolf Schulten (1870-1960) and Antonio Garc&#xed;a y Bellido (1903-1972), the paradigm significantly antedates both researchers. In effect, it can be traced as far back as the rise of modern Classical scholarship during the Renaissance. For a detailed analysis of its emergence and long development, into which we cannot enter here, we refer the interested reader to the work of historiographer <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">&#xc1;lvarez Mart&#xed;-Aguilar (2005)</xref>. Under this old paradigm, practitioners relied for their arguments on comparative analysis and interpretation of all references to Tartessos, made directly or indirectly, in narratives preserved from antiquity, including Herodotus&#x2019; <italic>Histories</italic> and Strabo&#x2019;s <italic>Geographical Treatise</italic>. Scholars also looked to Greek mythology and to passages from the Old Testament that mention Phoenician and Israelite commercial expeditions to a foreign land named <italic>Tarshish</italic> from the tenth to the eighth century BCE. The data gleaned from these ancient references was supplemented with findings from archaeological projects or research conducted by scholars from other scientific disciplines, such as geology.</p>

<p>The chief problem researchers faced was locating the remains of the presumed capital of such a kingdom, also named Tartessos. The richest sources to aid their efforts were the work of Greek archaeologist and geographer Pseudo-Scymnus (second century BCE), Greek geographer and ethnologist Strabo (late first century BCE), and, above all, the poem <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> by Roman author Rufus Festus Avienus (fourth century CE). These sources presented their own set of problems, however; the exegetical approach to these texts, though systematic and unrelenting, failed to produce a cogent theory about Tartessos, especially a hypothesis about the location of the city of Tartessos, that was confirmed archaeologically.</p>
<p>Following the Jerez symposium of 1968, a different paradigm for the subject of Tartessos replaced that established by Schulten and Garc&#xed;a y Bellido. In our view, the shift involved a local development of what Martin Bernal referred to in 1987 as the &#x201c;Return of the Iron Age Phoenicians&#x201d; challenging the &#x201c;Hellenomania&#x201d; that had dominated the literature since the nineteenth century.<sup>2</sup> One of the defining methodological principles of this new paradigm, here referred to as &#x201c;The Jerez Paradigm,&#x201d; was to distrust all references to Tartessos found in the narratives from antiquity. Practitioners maintain that hypotheses about this subject should be inferred primarily, if not exclusively, from archaeological evidence, which they consider far more reliable than written accounts such as those of Avienus. The documentary value of <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, particularly, was questioned by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">Schmitt (1978)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">De Hoz (1989)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">Gonz&#xe1;lez Ponce (1995)</xref>, and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B149">Marcotte (2000)</xref>, who argued that Avienus&#x2019; poem is little more than a fourth-century CE literary construct.</p>
<p>It is our main objective in this article to make the case that such a substitution of the archaeological finds for the written accounts that have survived from Near Eastern and Classical antiquity, particularly Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, was unnecessary. In addition, we aim to show that the shift raised more epistemological problems than those that it was reputedly aimed to solve. Many of these old problems, furthermore, remain unsettled; one of them, arguably the most salient and certainly the best known, is that of the location of the city of Tartessos.</p>
<p>It is our methodological stand that the most accurate representation of the polity of Tartessos, including the city of the same name, must be grounded in the articulation of every kind of reliable source available, from every applicable discipline, that is informed from a theoretical perspective that is open to the most insightful, comprehensive approaches to the understanding of archaic societies and early states. Consequently, we shall resort here to the philological analysis of the relevant texts preserved from antiquity, as well as to the historical analysis of the archaeological record that has accumulated since the late 1950s. Such a two-fold analysis, we hope, should enable readers to ponder on the epistemological validity of the ancient sources, including Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, for attempting to understand Tartessos. In addition, as newly relevant evidence, we shall present the results of the geomorphological, chronological, and paleoenvironmental studies undertaken in southwest Iberia since the 1970s. Because these results allow for a reconstruction of landscapes in the coastal areas of the region that developed during the Holocene, that obtained for the first millennium BCE merits a novel understanding of the said texts, in particular the critical passages of Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> in respect of the realm and city of Tartessos; this novel comprehension affects the credibility of the poem as a historical source for the subject of Tartessos in combination with that of the other writings preserved from antiquity.</p>
<p>We shall begin our argument by introducing Avienus, perhaps less known by readers than other authors of antiquity, as well as his poem <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. We shall follow by reviewing the subject of Tartessos as transmitted from antiquity, including the issue of the location of the city of Tartessos. Then we shall address the major aspects and results of both the Schulten-Garc&#xed;a y Bellido Paradigm and the Jerez Paradigm about the subject. While negative results of protracted research under these two paradigms could not mean necessarily that Avienus&#x2019; poem is unreliable as a historical source, some positive results of the same research may have agreed with parts of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> other than those related to the location of the city of Tartessos. Subsequently, we shall present the geomorphological, chronological, and paleoenvironmental evidence on which our reasons to concede the reliability of the poem chiefly lies. A discussion in the light of this evidence of the verses in <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> informing about the location of the city of Tartessos will ensue.</p>

<title>Avienus&#x2019; poem <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>
</title>
<p>Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> dates indeed from the fourth century CE. Furthermore, the manuscript of the poem handed down to the Print Age from the Roman period is incomplete. Yet the text contains references to the sea coasts of Iberia, including information about the city of Tartessos, that may be older than Pseudo-Scymnus&#x2019; and Strabo&#x2019;s sources and are undoubtedly more detailed. Avienus names most of the authors of this information, some of whom (Hellanicus of Lesbos, the Ionian writer; Euctemon, the Athenian astronomer and geographer; and Herodotus) lived no fewer than seven hundred years before he did. Appropriately, <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> belongs in an intellectual context of revivalism of pre-Christian advancements in science, philosophy, and the arts.<sup>3</sup>
</p>
<p>The edition of <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> on which we rely is that of Juan Gavala y Laborde and Francisco Torres,<sup>4</sup> with a close eye kept upon Alfred Holder&#x2019;s thorough critical edition of 1887 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">Holder, 1887</xref>). We have attached a reproduction of this edition by Gavala and Torres as <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">
<bold>Appendix 1</bold>
</xref> to this article; see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">
<bold>Supplementary Material</bold>
</xref>. Gavala and Torres&#x2019;s edition is based on a reconstruction of the metrical structure of the poem, as well as an analysis of the first edition (Venice, 1488); it also includes comparison of Abraham Ortellius&#x2019; manuscript copy, dated in the second half of the sixteenth century, with the modern editions of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">Bl&#xe1;zquez (1923)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B215">Schulten (1955a)</xref>. In addition, Gavala and Torres drew upon state-of-the-art research on Iberian geomorphology in the 1950s.</p>
<p>Not much is known about Avienus beyond what he wrote about himself in the poem. He was of Etruscan descent, had senatorial rank, and became governor in Greece and northern Africa. Some years before composing <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, he had translated into Latin a second-century CE book of world geography by Dionysius Periegetes, entitled by Avienus <italic>Descriptio orbis terrae</italic>, which includes references to the Atlantic seaboard of Europe and southern Iberia. After producing this translation and prior to writing <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, Avienus visited C&#xe1;diz (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>), finding it in a deplorable state, as though suffering the lingering effects of a major natural disaster. He remarked, however, that festivals in honor of Hercules were still celebrated.</p>
<p>It seems that Avienus used some form of one or more ancient portolan charts or rutters (&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3c0;&#x3bb;&#x3bf;&#x1fd6;), travelogues (&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3bf;&#x3b4;&#x3bf;&#x3b9;) or a combination of the two as original sources for <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. Rutters may indeed have been available to Greek navigators and tradesmen as early as the sixth century BCE, if not earlier.<sup>5</sup> As suggested in the poem, an ancient rutter would have enabled seafarers to sail from the islands <italic>Sacra</italic> and <italic>Albionum</italic> (likely off northwest Iberia, if not in the North Atlantic)<sup>6</sup> down to the Pillars of Hercules (<italic>Herculis Columnae</italic>) and, from there, along the coasts of southern and eastern Iberia on to the Phocaean colony of Marseilles. The same document<sup>7</sup> would have also specified that an overland route connected a large gulf on the west coast of Iberia to the nearest point on the Tartessian littoral, in the southwest. With some effort, this trip could be made in four days, presumably by horseback (<italic>pede</italic>, as opposed to <italic>classibus</italic>; by land, rather than by sea). A second road extended this route to M&#xe1;laga (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>) and could be covered in five days.</p>
<p>The author or authors of Avienus&#x2019; unknown original source(s) are not clearly identified in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. Some scholars<sup>8</sup> have argued against the existence of an old rutter (or rutters) as a source for the work. Others, from the eighteenth century<sup>9</sup> to the present,<sup>10</sup> have insisted that the information upon which Avienus drew must have been very ancient. Critics <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Berthelot (1934</xref>, pp. 73, 101, 106) and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">Gonz&#xe1;lez Ponce (1995</xref>, pp. 18, 118) have conceded this point. The poem frequently refers to Tartessos in the present tense and in many verses reads as though Avienus is citing or translating verbatim from a text or texts and intervenes at intervals to comment on specific parts of the original; we shall cite examples thereof below. In addition, there are several striking differences between the information provided about southwest Iberia and the Atlantic littoral in Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Descriptio orbis terrae</italic> and that contained in his <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, which suggests that Avienus drew the latter from another source or sources. For instance, a cape named &#x201c;Oestrymnis,&#x201d; located somewhere on the Atlantic littoral, is mentioned in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as a momentous turning point in the described route, yet is not recorded in <italic>Descriptio</italic>. Another instance concerns the name of the city of C&#xe1;diz, which is referred to by using the Phoenician <italic>Gadir</italic> as well as the Latin <italic>Gades</italic> in <italic>Descriptio</italic> but only as <italic>Gadir</italic> in <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>.</p>
<p>As noted above, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">Bl&#xe1;zquez (1909</xref>, pp. 4, 12; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">Bl&#xe1;zquez, 1923</xref>, pp. 54-60) reasoned that the mystery source might have been the work of the Carthaginian explorer Himilco, whose references to navigation conditions in the Atlantic are cited by Avienus in verses 117-129 and 382-415 of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. Avienus himself mentions, in verse 414, his consultation of the &#x201c;basest Carthaginian annals&#x201d; (<italic>ab imis punicorum annalibus</italic>). By contrast, Schulten considered (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B216">Schulten, 1955b</xref>, pp. 16-17) the possibility that the source might be the little-known Euthymenes of Marseilles, who lived in the sixth century BCE and wrote about the lands of the western Mediterranean and northwest Africa. Alternatively, one might conjecture that the source was either Pausimachus of Samos or Bacoris of Rhodes, or perhaps both.

<title>Tartessos as transmitted from antiquity: a short review</title>
<p>In the fifth century BCE Herodotus would write about Tartessos (1.163-165, 4.152) that it was a kingdom in the far west of the known world that had traded with Greece in the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, mostly through the Ionian city-state of Phocaea. His words are worthy of quotation at length:<sup>17 , 18</sup>
</p>
<p>1.163-65 as translated by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B105">Godley (1946-1949</xref>, II p. 355): &#x201c;they [Samians sailing under the command of one Colaeus] then put out to sea from the island of [Platea] and would have voyaged to Egypt, but an easterly wind drove them from their course, and ceased not till they had passed through the Pillars of Heracles and came (by heaven&#x2019;s providence) to Tartessus. Now this was at that time a virgin port; wherefore the Samians brought back from it so great a profit on their wares as no Greeks ever did of whom we have any exact knowledge, save only Sostratus of Aegina, son of Laodamas; with him none could vie. The Samians took six talents, the tenth part of their profit, and made therewith a bronze vessel, like an Argolic cauldron, with griffins&#x2019; heads projecting from the rim all round; this they set up in their temple of Here, supporting it with three colossal kneeling figures of bronze, each seven cubits high.&#x201d; Brackets added.</p>
<p>4.152 in Godley&#x2019;s translation as well (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B105">Godley, 1946-1949</xref>, I pp. 203-205): &#x201c;Phocaeans were the earliest of the Greeks to make long sea-voyages: it was they who discovered the Adriatic Sea, and Tyrrhenia, and Iberia, and Tartessus, not sailing in round freight-ships but in fifty-oared vessels. When they came to Tartessus they made friends with the king of the Tartessians, whose name was Arganthonius; he ruled Tartessus for eighty years and lived an hundred and twenty. The Phocaeans so won this man&#x2019;s friendship that he first entreated them to leave Ionia and settle in his country where they would; and then, when he could not persuade them to do that, and learnt from them how the Median [Persian] power was increasing, he gave them money to build a wall round their city therewith. Without a stint he gave it.&#x201d; Brackets added.</p>
<p>Herodotus&#x2019; information can be deemed trustworthy because it is incidental to bigger, closer to home events that the Greek historian had chosen to address, namely the founding of Cyrene in Libya by Theraeans and the siege of Phocaea by Persian forces led by Harpagus. Archaeological evidence from both the island of Samos and the site of Phocaea has substantiated this information.<sup>19</sup>
</p>
<p>In the seventh and sixth centuries BCE Greek merchants may have taken advantage of the possible disruption of Phoenician trade in the Mediterranean resulting from the pressures applied to the Phoenician metropolises by the Assyrian and later Babylonian empires; in 573 BCE Tyre, the leading Phoenician city-state, succumbed to a thirteen-year siege by the king of Babylon.<sup>20</sup> As implied by Herodotus, at least Samian, Aeginan, and Phocaean tradesmen would navigate at the time to the distant land beyond the Gibraltar Straits, presumably in search of raw materials such as silver, gold, and tin, which the king of Tartessos or his representatives would procure for them from the indigenous population.<sup>21</sup> Apparently, these trade relations culminated in a political and military alliance between Tartessos and Phocaea in the western Mediterranean that rivalled the alliance there between Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Etruscans;<sup>22</sup> as cited, Herodotus notes that the liaison with the city of Phocaea became so close that Arganthonios, king of Tartessos in the mid sixth century BCE, offered Phocaeans humanitarian and financial assistance to resist the expansion of the Persian Empire.</p>
<p>Parallel literatures from antiquity, including Hesiod&#x2019;s <italic>Theogony</italic>,<sup>23</sup> Pseudo-Apollodorus&#x2019; <italic>Bibliotheca</italic>,<sup>24</sup> and Justin&#x2019;s <italic>Epitome</italic> of Pompeius Trogus&#x2019; <italic>Philippic Histories</italic>,<sup>25</sup> mention other kings of Tartessos from a more distant past. For an extensive discussion of these kings, all of whom belonging in at least three different traditions, see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B144">Maluquer de Motes (1970</xref>, pp. 37-50) and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">Caro-Baroja (1971)</xref>. One of these other kings is Geryon, or Geryoneus, prominent in Greek narratives of the labors of the demigod Heracles, Roman Hercules. Another is Habis, lawgiver in an ancient mythical charter transmitted by Justin<sup>26</sup> which suggests a social, political, and economic order that depended upon a hierarchy of cities. A social class of underprivileged people (<italic>plebs</italic>), who had been parceled out into seven cities (<italic>urbes</italic>), had to work (<italic>ministeria servilia</italic>) for the full citizens of the realm (<italic>populus</italic>), apparently living in another city that was paramount. Judging from a Roman inscription concerning the city of <italic>Hasta Regia</italic>,<sup>27</sup> such an order was still in force in the early second century BCE.</p>
<p>The Greek presence in the western Mediterranean in the seventh and sixth centuries BCE may have induced a violent conflict for the Tartessian market between the Greeks and the Phoenicians, who had a longer history of trade and settlement in the region but were militarily weak at the time. In the central and western Mediterranean, Tyre was replaced by Carthage as center of Phoenician trade, colonization, and power;<sup>28</sup> in southern Iberia and northern Morocco, the center may have been C&#xe1;diz,<sup>29</sup> if not Carthage as well.<sup>30</sup> According to Strabo and other authors,<sup>31</sup> Phocaean Greeks founded a city (&#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2;), &#x3bc;&#x3b1;&#x3b9;&#x3bd;&#x3ac;&#x3ba;&#x3b7; (<italic>Main&#xe1;k&#xea;</italic>), on the southern Mediterranean coast of Iberia, near or east of M&#xe1;laga. The initiative, likely in the late seventh century BCE, midway through the reign of philhellene King Arganthonios in Tartessos, was perhaps also a way of circumventing the control of the Straits of Gibraltar by the Phoenicians of C&#xe1;diz or the Carthaginians. Some sixty or seventy years later, ca. 540 BCE, if Herodotus is to be trusted,<sup>32</sup> a Phocaean fleet had to face a joint armada of Carthaginian and Etruscan war ships off Alalia, Corsica. Although the Phocaeans won the battle, they lost two-thirds of their ships and had to evacuate Alalia to attempt resettlement in Italy. By then, Phocaea, the metropolis, had fallen to the Persian expansion and King Arganthonios was dead.<sup>33</sup> News of the kingdom of Tartessos stopped reaching the Greek-speaking world sometime thereafter.<sup>34</sup> Archaeological evidence indicates that at least the material culture of Tartessos continued as far north as the middle Guadiana Valley till the late fifth or early fourth century BCE.<sup>35</sup>
</p>
<p>Regular contact with sources from Classical antiquity would resume in the late third century BCE, because of The Second Punic War; by then, the realm of Tartessos was only a faint memory.<sup>36</sup> The reason for the isolation of southwest Iberia in respect of Greek or Roman civilization for some three hundred years is a matter of debate.<sup>37</sup>

<title>Location of the city of Tartessos in the writings of antiquity</title>
<p>The preserved traditions from antiquity have it that the political center (&#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2;, <italic>p&#xf3;lis</italic>, <italic>civitas</italic>) as well as port of trade (&#x1f10;&#x3bc;&#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3c1;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;, <italic>emp&#xf3;rion</italic>) of Tartessos lay somewhere in the maritime region of present-day southwest Spain. As noted above, the specific sources needed for finding its precise location include Pseudo-Scymnus, Strabo, and Avienus, the last-mentioned being particularly informative. Pseudo-Scymnus (arguably Apollodorus of Athens)<sup>38</sup> wrote<sup>39</sup> that the &#x201c;distinguished city&#x201d; (&#x1f10;&#x3c0;&#x3b9;&#x3c6;&#x3b1;&#x3bd;&#x1f74;&#x3c2; &#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2;) of Tartessos was reached &#x201c;after having completed a two-day navigation&#x201d; (&#x2018;&#x1f21;&#x3bc;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x1ff6;&#x3bd; &#x3b4;&#x3c5;&#x3bf;&#x1fd6;&#x3bd; &#x3c4;&#x3f5;&#x3bb;&#x3ad;&#x3c3;&#x3b1;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3b9; &#x3c0;&#x3bb;&#x3bf;&#x1fe6;&#x3bd;) westward from an indeterminate point that was probably either <italic>Main&#xe1;k&#xea;</italic> or the Rock of Gibraltar, one of the &#x201c;Pillars of Heracles&#x201d; flanking the Gibraltar Straits. The day before their arrival at the city of Tartessos, mariners navigating this route would stop at the island of &#x2018;E&#x3c1;&#x3cd;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3b9;&#x3b1; (<italic>Er&#xfd;theia</italic>), which, according to Pseudo-Scymnus, swarmed with cattle herds and was inhabited by &#x201c;western Ethiopians&#x201d;; later that same day, the same mariners would harbor at the city of C&#xe1;diz. Pseudo-Scymnus drew largely from Ephorus of Cyme&#x2019;s <italic>Universal History</italic> (fourth century BCE) and Eratosthenes&#x2019; <italic>Geography</italic> (third century BCE). It is apparent that either Ephorus or Eratosthenes, or perhaps both, relied on some form of rutter or travelogue from the fifth or sixth century BCE that is now lost.</p>
<p>Strabo cited fifth-century BCE Pherecydes of Athens to point out<sup>40</sup> that &#x201c;<italic>Erythe&#xed;a</italic>,&#x201d; as he named it, was a longer island, 100 stadia (some 18.5 km) long, the largest in the C&#xe1;diz archipelago, and that the city of Tartessos no longer existed in his time nor in that of his sources; it had been located on the isle formed by the two mouths that the river <italic>Baetis</italic> had at his time. Like other authors from the Roman period, Strabo understood that this river &#x201c;<italic>Baetis</italic>,&#x201d; so called by the Roman provincial administrators and settlers, the present-day Guadalquivir River, had been the Tartessos River. Strabo&#x2019;s main sources were Greek scholars who had been to southern Iberia in the second and first centuries BCE, such as Polybius, Posidonius of Apamea, Artemidorus Ephesius, and Asclepiades of Myrleia,<sup>41</sup> all or most of whom must have learned about &#x201c;the distinguished city&#x201d; of Tartessos from native oral tradition.</p>
<p>In Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, the city of Tartessos appears located on <italic>Cartare insula</italic> (&#x201c;the isle of <italic>Cartare</italic>,&#x201d; a place-name of Phoenician etymology: &#x201c;the isle of the city&#x201d;), which was situated within the Tartessos River (<italic>Tartessus amnis</italic>). The rutter-like narrative in most of the poem<sup>42</sup> suggests that this isle, visible from the sea, stood close to the mouth of the river. The river surrounded or held (<italic>ligat</italic>) the isle after flowing into a lake called <italic>Lacus Ligustinus</italic>.</p>
<p>The geography of the mouth of the river as described in the poem was complex.<sup>43</sup> East of the isle of <italic>Cartare</italic>, three inlets branched off from the river into the hinterland. South of the isle, after apparently a sequential bifurcation within a delta (<italic>ore bis gemino</italic>, &#x201c;through a twice two-fold outlet&#x201d;), the east arm of the river joined the west arm; the re-joined course of the river then emptied into the ocean. A mountain or mountain range, <italic>Mons Argentarius</italic> (&#x201c;Silvery,&#x201d; or &#x201c;Silver-rich,&#x201d; &#x201c;Mountain,&#x201d; or &#x201c;Mountain Range&#x201d;), could be seen over the lake, or over the marshland (<italic>paludem incumbit</italic>), from the sea.<sup>44</sup>
</p>
<p>Despite this description contained in Avienus&#x2019; poem, the precise location of the city of Tartessos generally eluded writers of the Roman period just as it does the scholars of today. While Strabo himself was unable to specify its precise position in relation to the two mouths of the river <italic>Baetis</italic>, Pomponius Mela, born in nearby Tingentera ca. 10 CE, contended<sup>45</sup> that the city had stood upon Algeciras Bay, instead (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). Mela did confirm, however, Strabo&#x2019;s description of the lower course of the river <italic>Baetis</italic>; he wrote<sup>46</sup> that the river reached the ocean in the form of &#x201c;two large distributary channels that flowed from a large lake that stood not far from the ocean, each of the channels being as large as the river itself before flowing into the lake.&#x201d;<sup>47</sup>
</p>
<p>Mela&#x2019;s contemporary Pliny the Elder<sup>48</sup> used the plural to refer to the area of the lower <italic>Baetis</italic> River: &#x201c;<italic>Aestuaria Baetis</italic>&#x201d; (the estuaries of the river <italic>Baetis</italic>);<sup>49</sup> yet also placed the city of Tartessos upon Algeciras Bay, or in C&#xe1;diz, echoing a tradition first recorded in the first century BCE by Sallust<sup>50</sup> and Cicero.<sup>51</sup>
</p>
<p>Only a few features recorded in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> are readily recognizable today: the Guadiana River (as <italic>Ana amnis</italic> in verse 205), the old town of C&#xe1;diz (as <italic>Gadir oppidum</italic> in verse 267), and the Rock of Gibraltar (as <italic>saxum prominens Calpe</italic> in verses 343-344). The poem names cities, peoples, and rivers, as well as forests, mountains, and other landmarks, that are linguistic hapax legomena; these names appear in no other known texts concerning pre-Roman Iberia. Many or most of these names may bear witness to ancient regular contact with Greeks, whether from Greece itself or from Greek colonies in the Mediterranean, or both.<sup>52</sup> There is, for instance, the enigmatic city of <italic>Herbi</italic> of verse 244, located in the narrative somewhere between the mouth of <italic>Ana amnis</italic> and the mouth of <italic>Tartessus amnis</italic>.<sup>53</sup> In a clear case of juxtaposed texts in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>, Avienus comments<sup>54</sup> that this city no longer existed in his time: it had been destroyed in &#x201c;past times of wars,&#x201d; possibly an allusion to the disturbances of the second century CE (or earlier) in southern Iberia. According to the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>,<sup>55</sup> <italic>Herbi</italic> lay near a coastal lagoon or marshland called <italic>Palus Erebaea</italic> or <italic>Etrephaea</italic>, from which a river, <italic>Hiberus amnis</italic>, flowed (<italic>inde manat</italic>) into the ocean. Near the lagoon also, a cape or range of hills (<italic>iugum</italic>) could be found that housed a &#x201c;rich temple&#x201d; (<italic>dives fanum</italic>) dedicated to the &#x201c;Goddess of the Underworld&#x201d; (<italic>Inferna Dea</italic>) and containing a crypt. Farther on (<italic>post</italic>), in the direction of the Straits of Gibraltar, stood <italic>Cartare insula</italic> and, next (<italic>inde</italic>) along the littoral, the &#x201c;Mount (or Mountain Range) of Cassius&#x201d; (<italic>Mons Cassius</italic>). Avienus comments<sup>56</sup> that the Greek name for tin, in his rendition &#x201c;<italic>cassiterum</italic>,&#x201d; was coined after this feature. <italic>Mons Cassius</italic> was followed by the &#x201c;Cape of the Temple&#x201d; (<italic>Fani Prominens</italic>).</p>
<p>From <italic>Fani Prominens</italic>, the prospective mariner could make out from afar (<italic>eminus</italic>) the &#x201c;citadel&#x201d; (or &#x201c;promontory&#x201d;) of King Geryon (<italic>Gerontis Arx</italic>), which received the waters of &#x201c;a wide river&#x201d; (<italic>flumen amplum</italic>) that flowed into the nearby sea. <italic>Fani Prominens</italic> and <italic>Gerontis Arx</italic> flanked the entrance into <italic>Sinus Tartessius</italic>, the &#x201c;Gulf of Tartessos.&#x201d; It took one day to sail from the mouth of the river <italic>Hiberus</italic> to this site. <italic>Gerontis Arx</italic> stood by, or was located within, the <italic>oppidum</italic> of <italic>Gadir</italic>, the core establishment of the Phoenician colony of C&#xe1;diz. At this point, Avienus distances himself again from the unknown source, as in the verses on the city of <italic>Herbi</italic> or on <italic>Mons Cassius</italic>, to follow instead Sallust, Cicero, and Pliny the Elder in stating that the <italic>oppidum</italic> of <italic>Gadir</italic> was known in the past as <italic>Tartessus</italic>, the city of Tartessos. The establishment of <italic>Gadir</italic>, however, the reader should notice, was not located on an isle within a river, as specified elsewhere in the poem for the city of Tartessos,<sup>57</sup> but on a sea island that formed part of an archipelago. Perhaps Avienus had a former political and trade center of the realm in mind. Alternatively, <italic>Gadir</italic> may have become a recurrent metonym in Roman scholarship for the memory of the ancient polity.<sup>58</sup>
</p>
<p>Southeast toward the mainland (<italic>ad continentem</italic>) from the establishment of <italic>Gadir</italic>, Avienus continued,<sup>59</sup> a &#x201c;channel&#x201d; (<italic>interfluum</italic>) five stadia wide (some 925 m) separated the establishment and <italic>Gerontis Arx</italic> from the island of <italic>Erythia</italic>. This <italic>Erythia</italic> must be the same as the 100-stadium island that Pherecydes of Athens had called &#x2018;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; (<italic>Erythe&#xed;a</italic>) rather than the smaller island of the same name (present-day Le&#xf3;n Island, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2B</bold>
</xref>) mentioned by Pseudo-Scymnus. To the west of <italic>Erythia</italic> lay another island, &#x201c;consecrated to <italic>Venus Marina</italic>,&#x201d; that contained a subterranean temple and an oracle.</p>

<title>Unfolding paradigms in Tartessian studies</title>
<p>Interpreting Avienus&#x2019; text, even if carefully analyzed in the light of other written sources for ancient Iberia, has always been problematic. Early in the twentieth century (1909, 1923) Bl&#xe1;zquez, a geographer as well as a historian, conducted a thorough analysis of each of the sources to conclude that the remains of the city of Tartessos lay buried in the spit of Do&#xf1;ana, somewhere close to the Santa Olalla coastal lagoon, which he believed was a remnant of an ancient outlet of the Guadalquivir River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). Schulten pursued this line of inquiry and, together with archaeologist George E. Bonsor, determined that the remains lay in the vicinity of Cerro del Trigo, where Roman-period structures and artifacts had surfaced.<sup>60</sup> Also located on the spit of Do&#xf1;ana, this site lies some 12 km southeast of the Santa Olalla lagoon, near the present-day mouth of the Guadalquivir River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). Like Bl&#xe1;zquez before them, Schulten and Bonsor assumed that the coastlines of southwest Spain had changed significantly since Tartessian, and even Roman, times, which would account for much of the difficulty in interpreting the testimonies that have survived from antiquity. As we shall see, the current configuration of the Guadalquivir Estuary is the product of a long, complex process during the Holocene that saw a far larger estuary filled with sediments from the river Guadalquivir itself, convergent rivers such as the Guadiamar, and other forms of sediment generated by marine dynamics (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). In the 1920s, Schulten and Bonsor managed to test their hypothesis by jointly conducting excavations at the Cerro del Trigo site, with the help of cartographer A. Lammerer and geologist O. Jessen.<sup>61</sup>
</p>
<p>Their hypothesis turned out to be wrong, however; the two scientists found no Tartessian remains below the Roman structures exposed at Cerro del Trigo, let alone remains of the city of Tartessos. Their failure prompted other researchers to use the same set of sources to devise alternative hypotheses, which concerned other sites (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;3</bold>
</xref>). To mention the most remarkable instances: <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">Fern&#xe1;ndez Amador de los R&#xed;os (1925)</xref> pointed to the alluvial island of Tarfia, some 20 km up the Guadalquivir River from Cerro del Trigo; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Arenas (1927)</xref> argued for the city of Huelva (Roman-period <italic>Onoba</italic>); <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">Chocomeli (1940)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B151">Mart&#xed;n de la Torre (1940)</xref> chose Mesas de Asta, the site of the pre-Roman city of <italic>Hasta Regia</italic> located close to Jerez de La Frontera. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B175">Pem&#xe1;n (1941)</xref> welcomed the hypothesis of Mesas de Asta, though also offered Jerez de La Frontera itself as well as the formerly island of Le&#xf3;n, near C&#xe1;diz, as possible locations. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B93">Garc&#xed;a y Bellido (1944)</xref> proposed the isle of Salt&#xe9;s, in the Tinto-Odiel Estuary (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;3</bold>
</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Barbadillo-Delgado (1951)</xref> and Lo&#xef;c Menanteau (in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B172">Palacios, 1981</xref>) indicated the spit of La Algaida, across the mouth of the Guadalquivir River from Cerro del Trigo. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B102">Gavala y Laborde (1959a</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B103">b)</xref> suggested C&#xe1;diz. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Berthelot (1934)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Blanco-Freijeiro (1979)</xref> suggested Seville. Of these hypotheses, only those concerning the site of Mesas de Asta were archaeologically tested by Manuel Esteve Guerrero in a manner comparable with that of Schulten and Bonsor at Cerro del Trigo (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">Esteve Guerrero, 1969</xref>). Excavations at Mesas de Asta yielded evidence of Tartessian occupation among a long series of occupations that began as early as the Copper Age or Chalcolithic and continued through to the Islamic period. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">Esteve Guerrero (1969</xref>, p. 118) considered as Tartessian occupation the remains of the first half of the first millennium BCE. However, the quantity of remains found at the site from such a period was ultimately disappointing.</p>

<p>In the late 1950s, archaeology in southern Spain entered a long overdue period of sustained growth which justified the call for an international symposium about Tartessos. Convened at Jerez de La Frontera in September, 1968 the symposium gave form to a new paradigm in Tartessian Studies, the afore-mentioned Jerez Paradigm. The accumulated literature since is vast; the references cited in recent publications may serve for guidance.<sup>62</sup> Especially notable scholarly landmarks were a collective work on the subject in the late 1980s led by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Aubet (1989)</xref>, the meeting commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 1968 symposium (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">BUC, Biblioteca de Urbanismo y Cultura, Ayuntamiento de Jerez de la Frontera, 1995</xref>), the meeting commemorating the 50th anniversary of the treasure-trove find of El Carambolo, near Seville, in 1958 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">De La Bandera Romero and Ferrer Albelda, 2010</xref>), and an international meeting held in Huelva in 2011 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">Campos and Alvar, 2013</xref>). However, these developments, though unprecedented, rested primarily on accidental finds, such as that at El Carambolo, and on archaeological salvage operations rather than on problem-oriented research projects. The evidence became thus skewed in favor of the places where the finds surfaced or were excavated.<sup>63</sup> Furthermore, the interpretation of finds was largely shaped by a methodological bias set against using information contained in the narratives from antiquity; even Old Testament references to Phoenician and Israelite commercial expeditions to the land of <italic>Tarshish</italic> were neglected, if not dismissed.<sup>64</sup>
</p>
<p>For brevity, the contributions in the extensive literature since the late 1950s can be conceived of as covering a spectrum defined by a pair of ideal types of opposing views in a dialectic. On one side of the spectrum,<sup>65</sup> Tartessos is represented as only the Greek name for an area in southwest Iberia that Phoenician merchants, craftsmen, farmers, priests, and administrators, particularly those from the city-state of Tyre, inhabited, organized, and exploited from the ninth or eighth century BCE onwards. Additional foreign influence came from the peoples of Atlantic Europe. The political and economic center of this colonized new world was, according to this view, the Phoenician city of C&#xe1;diz. On the other side of the spectrum,<sup>66</sup> Tartessos is portrayed as a political world in southwest Iberia in the form of an aristocratic monarchy or a chiefdom, or a number thereof. Clustering around the Tinto-Odiel estuary and open to the influence of peoples from north-western Europe, such a polity, or polities, emerged from Bronze Age lineage-based communities or chieftainships in the ninth or eighth century BCE. Notwithstanding this indigenous pediment, Tartessos, in this different view, is represented as also shaped, in large part, by trade, immigration, and innovations from the Near East, which profoundly affected distinct realms of social life in the land: technology, house design, food procurement, social and political organization, even religion and funerary ritual.<sup>67</sup>
</p>
<p>In studying Tartessos, however, doubting as a methodological principle the reliability of the written sources for this ancient Iberian polity preserved from antiquity poses the risk of severing Tartessos from all, or nearly all, historical association with Greece and the Old Testament and, thereby, the risk of reducing the representation of Tartessos to little more than inferences from ninth- to fifth-century BCE material remains; consequently, the discussion of the non-material aspects of the case, such as the social, political, and economic organization, is deprived of a firm ground. Judging by the results of our research, such is, with some exceptions mentioned below, what has effectively happened over the past sixty years or so of Tartessian studies under the Jerez Paradigm. As most of the archaeological finds have been Phoenician or Phoenician-inspired, they have been attributed to an archaeologically defined culture that embodied an Orientalizing Period in the late prehistory and early history of southwest Iberia.</p>
<p>Ironically, the neglected authors of antiquity, including Strabo and Avienus himself, clearly attest to Phoenician presence and influence in southern Iberia in the first half of the first millennium BCE, if not earlier. Their testimony highlights the question of the value of these authors as historical sources for Tartessos.</p>

<title>The littoral of Southwest Iberia during the middle and late Holocene</title>
<p>As Bl&#xe1;zquez, Schulten, and Bonsor suspected, coastlines are the outcome of complex geodynamic processes interacting with one another on land as well in the sea over hundreds or thousands of years. The natural phenomena concerned are the sea waves, the tidal cycle, the river discharges, the climatic setting, and the effects of neotectonics. The river discharges are conditioned by the sea-level oscillations, which depend on the climatic setting. Ever since the Neolithic period, human activity must be factored in as well. The complex, interactive processes involving all these variables have short-, mid-, and long-term effects. Short-term effects may include noticeable geographic changes;<sup>68</sup> the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz is a clear case in point.<sup>69</sup> Although its present-day configuration is largely the result of a transgression of the Atlantic Ocean that began some 15,000 years ago, in the final phase of the last ice age, the ocean in the gulf reached its highest level some 6,500 to 5,500 years ago, when it became comparatively stable.<sup>70</sup> In the process, this marine upsurge transformed a number of fluvial valleys into wide estuaries flooded by the ocean. Thereafter, these estuaries underwent changes of their own.</p>
<p>The geomorphological and biological studies conducted in southwest Iberia since the 1970s have made it possible to establish a model for the geographical and environmental transformations in the area since the Postglacial Maximum of the Atlantic. Evidence for these transformations results from analyzing satellite images, aerial photographs, historical documents, archaeological remains, geomorphic features of the landscape (e.g., littoral strands, dune systems, sedimentary lags, erosive morphologies), and cores of sedimentation extracted from the Holocene soils identified in the area. Drilled to different depths, from just a few centimeters to dozens of meters, such cores are microscopically examined for lithostratigraphic contents, macro- and micro-faunal remains, pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs, charcoal particles, and samples for chronometric dating determinations.</p>
<p>Some 4,200 years ago, the climatic and environmental setting of southwest Iberia changed rapidly to more arid conditions.<sup>71</sup> Referred to in the specialized literature as &#x201c;the 4.2 kyr cal BP event&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B141">Magny, 1993</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B142">2004</xref>) or &#x201c;Bond event 3&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">Bond et&#xa0;al., 2001</xref>), this turning point to a different climatic and environmental stability, lasting till the present age of global warming, has been detected elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula as well as in other regions of the northern hemisphere.<sup>72</sup> Geologists, paleo-environmentalists, and prehistorians<sup>73</sup> have all singled this turning point out as marking the transition from the Middle to the Late Holocene.</p>
<p>In southwest Iberia, the predominant climate conditions in the late Holocene can be regarded as fitting those of the Mediterranean type: in short, warm, dry summers alternating with mild, rainy autumns and winters. Most frequent winds come from the southwest, where the ocean is.<sup>74</sup> As these winds condition wave regime, beach deposits, and dune formation, they play a major role in geomorphologically shaping the littoral; more specifically, they generate a coastal current that drifts from west to east, causing sand deposits on the shores to protrude in the same direction and eventually build into spits.</p>
<p>The maximum tidal range in the annual cycle is 3.86 m, the average range being approximately 2 m. Tides of these amplitudes have made the littoral of the Iberian side of the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz to be classified as semidiurnal mesotidal.<sup>75</sup>
</p>
<p>Neo-tectonic forces press extant geological formations, including spits and dune systems on the coasts and sedimentary accumulations in the estuaries, to subside; by the same process, such formations may ultimately be covered by subsequent formations or by the ocean.<sup>76</sup> The Iberian Peninsula constitutes the southwestern corner of the continental component of the Eurasian plate, where it faces the northern boundary of the African plate. The Azores-Gibraltar fault zone lies in between. Structurally, the present geological configuration of the gulf is the result of the convergence motion of both plates, which is a dextral strike-slip motion along the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary.<sup>77</sup> Besides causing subsidence, the neo-tectonic pressures periodically trigger earthquakes and tsunamis; in southwest Iberia, geologists have identified sedimentary and geomorphic traces of large tsunamis that impinged upon the littoral over the past five thousand years in recurrence cycles of four hundred to a thousand years.<sup>78</sup>
</p>
<p>The estuaries of southwest Iberia exhibit at present extensive spits and marshes. As with the rest of formations in the region, they are the final product of five to six millennia of transformations in the wide estuaries that existed at the time of the Postglacial Maximum and thus became paleo-estuaries eventually. Because much of the areas of these paleo-estuaries are still subject to the tidal cycle, they are distinguished as marshland, i. e., tidal marshland, from the more recent lagoons and estuaries formed in those areas. Note, therefore, the difference between a paleo-estuary, or present-day marshland in the lower course of a fluvial basin, and an estuary, which is the current formation in the coastal landscape. From west to east, the largest paleo-estuaries are those of the rivers Tinto-Odiel, Guadalquivir, and Guadalete (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;4</bold>
</xref>&#x2013;<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">
<bold>6</bold>
</xref>). Of the three, the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary is, by far, the most extensive. As the principal fluvial artery of southern Iberia, the Guadalquivir River stands first in the region&#x2019;s hydrological system. A measure of the high energy of its present dynamics is that flow rates can be as high as 5000 m<sup>3</sup> per second.<sup>79</sup> Upon entering the area of its paleo-estuary, south of the latitude of Coria del R&#xed;o (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5</bold>
</xref>), the river distributes its current among winding meander-forming channels that, farther downstream, converge into the single present-day mouth by the town of Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). The channels, in turn, receive the waters of tributary rivers, such as Guadiamar and Arroyo de La Rocina (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">

<p>Aside from these tributary rivers and channels and the present-day outlet by Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda, the extension of the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary comprehends some 180,000 ha of tidal marshland; two spits, Do&#xf1;ana and La Algaida, separate it from the ocean. By featuring extensive dune morphologies developed over much of their surface during the Late Holocene, these two spits make up the largest system of sandy barriers on the littoral of southwest Iberia.<sup>80</sup> Do&#xf1;ana lies at the west bank of the estuary; it is roughly 25 km long and 7 km wide and has a northwest-southeast orientation. La Algaida stands at the east bank; it is about 10 km long and 2.5 km wide and has a south-north orientation. Other conditions in the area being constant, these two spits tend to extend ever farther and, thereby, to increasingly narrow the outlet of the river: a process which facilitates fluvial sedimentation in the estuary as well as expansion and subsequent infilling of the marshland in the lower basin of the river. In between the two spits, by contrast, runs the Lower Guadalquivir River Fault (BGF), linked to the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary with a southwest-northeast orientation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5D</bold>
</xref>). North of this fault, the ground tends to subside, which helps the river flow smoothly and discharge its load offshore.</p>

<title>The limitations of the Jerez paradigm</title>
<p>As noted, Phoenician presence and influence in southern Iberia in the first half of the first millennium BCE are duly mentioned by many an author of antiquity. To start with Strabo, it was this ethnologist-cum-geographer who, as mentioned above, flatly called attention to Phoenician settlement in southern Iberia from before the days of Homer and who remarked on C&#xe1;diz&#x2019;s long-established monopoly of the Atlantic tin route by the time of the Roman rule. Furthermore, Strabo was one of the authors who echoed the tradition of the exploits of the hero Heracles in the far west of the known world, some of them concerning Tartessos; in antiquity such exploits came to be related to those of a character in Near Eastern mythology, Melkarth, in Phoenician Iberia.</p>
<p>In Pseudo-Apollodorus&#x2019; rendition of the Heracles story,<sup>81</sup> the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene is ordered by Eurystheus, king of Tyrins and Mycenae, to steal for him King Geryon&#x2019;s cattle. As the story goes, Heracles set out for the western end of the Mediterranean Sea and, after passing through Europe and Libya, reached his destination, the entrance to Geryon&#x2019;s kingdom. There he erected two pillars over against each other as evidence of his journey; they marked the boundaries of Libya and Europe, as well as the gateway to the ocean. Heracles then crossed to the ocean through the entrance, present-day Gibraltar Straits, in a golden goblet borrowed by the Sun to reach an island known as &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3cd;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3b9;&#x3b1; (<italic>Er&#xfd;theia)</italic>, &#x201c;now called &#x393;&#x3ac;&#x3b4;&#x3f5;&#x3b9;&#x3c1;&#x3b1; (<italic>G&#xe1;deira</italic>),&#x201d; Pseudo-Apollodorus remarks, where Heracles faced Geryon&#x2019;s herdsman, Eurytion, and his watchdog, Orthus. He killed them both and stole the herd of cattle. Heracles then confronted Geryon by the River Anthemus. He killed him, too; thereafter, &#x201c;having sailed across to Tartessos&#x201d; (&#x3b4;&#x3b9;&#x3b1;&#x3c0;&#x3bb;&#x3f5;&#x3cd;&#x3c3;&#x3b1;&#x3c2; &#x3f5;&#xec;&#x3c2; &#x3c4;&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x3c4;&#x3b7;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#xf2;&#x3bd;), presumably Geryon&#x2019;s court, Heracles gave back the golden goblet to the Sun and returned to Greece by way of the Pyrenees, the Ligurian coast, Italy, Sicily, the Ionian Sea, and Thrace.</p>
<p>According to the poet Stesichorus of Himera (late seventh century to mid sixth century BCE), quoted by Strabo,<sup>82</sup> Geryon (or perhaps his herdsman, Eurytion)<sup>83</sup> had been born in a cave &#x201c;by the boundless springs,&#x201d; or, perhaps more accurately, &#x201c;boundless streams, or waters&#x201d; (&#x201c;&#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x1f70; &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x1f70;&#x3c2; &#x1f00;&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;&#x3b1;&#x3c2;&#x201d;), &#x201c;of silver-rich roots&#x201d; (&#x1f00;&#x3c1;&#x3b3;&#x3c5;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3b6;&#x3bf;&#x3c5;&#x3c2;&#x201d;) of the river Tartessos, and &#x201c;almost opposite&#x201d; (&#x201c;&#x3c3;&#x3c7;&#x3b5;&#x3b4;&#xf2;&#x3bd; &#x1f00;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3b9;&#x3c0;&#x3ad;&#x3c1;&#x3b1;&#x3c2;&#x201d;) to &#x201c;the renowned island called &#x2018;&#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3b5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; (<italic>Erythe&#xed;a</italic>),&#x201d; where Heracles would land. To cite Strabo&#x2019;s words, &#x201c;&#x3c3;&#x3c7;&#x3b5;&#x3b4;&#x1f78;&#x3bd; &#x1f00;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3b9;&#x3c0;&#x3ad;&#x3c1;&#x3b1;&#x3c2; &#x3ba;&#x3bb;&#x3b5;&#x3b9;&#x3bd;&#x1fb6;&#x3c2; &#x2019;&#x395;&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3b5;&#x3af;&#x3b1;&#x3c2; T&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x3c4;&#x3b7;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#x3bf;&#x1fe6; &#x3c0;&#x3bf;&#x3c4;&#x3b1;&#x3bc;&#x3bf;&#x3c5; &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x1f70; &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x1f70;&#x3c2; &#x1f00;&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;&#x3b1;&#x3c2; &#x1f00;&#x3c1;&#x3b3;&#x3c5;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3b6;&#x3bf;&#x3c5;&#x3c2; &#x1f10;&#x3bd; &#x3ba;&#x3f5;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3bc;&#x1ff6;&#x3bd;&#x3b9; &#x3c0;&#x3ad;&#x3c4;&#x3c1;&#x3b1;&#x3c2;.&#x201d;</p>
<p>Identifying the river Tartessos is a problem closely related to that of locating the city of Tartessos, as we shall see. This problem can be safely ignored for the moment, except for noting the repeated statement in the writings of antiquity that the river Tartessos emptied into the Atlantic Ocean. Strabo&#x2019;s quotation of Stesichorus&#x2019; words comes from <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">Laserre, 1966</xref> edition, with full critical apparatus, of Strabo&#x2019;s books 3 and 4 of his <italic>Geographical Treatise</italic>.<sup>84</sup> In the 1960s, fragments of Stesichorus&#x2019; lost poem &#x2018;H &#x393;&#x3b7;&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;&#x3af;&#x3c2; (<italic>Geryoneis</italic>) were recognized in papyri of the Oxyrhynchus Collection at Oxford University.<sup>85</sup> Although analysis of this material helped set Strabo&#x2019;s quotation in its proper textual and literary context, it failed to result in a significant, uncontested emendation of Strabo&#x2019;s text as cited.<sup>86</sup> Our interpretation of this text follows that of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B171">Page (1973</xref>, p. 148), <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">De Hoz (1989</xref>, p. 27), and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">Davies and Finglass (2014</xref>, p. 262). We understand the phrase T&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x3c4;&#x3b7;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#x3bf;&#x1fe6; &#x3c0;&#x3bf;&#x3c4;&#x3b1;&#x3bc;&#x3bf;&#x3c5; &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3c1;&#x1f70; &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x1f70;&#x3c2; &#x1f00;&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;&#x3b1;&#x3c2; &#x1f00;&#x3c1;&#x3b3;&#x3c5;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3b6;&#x3bf;&#x3c5;&#x3c2; as more accurately to mean &#x201c;by the boundless streams, or waters, of silver-rich roots, of the river Tartessos,&#x201d; than &#x201c;by the boundless springs, of silver-rich roots, of the river Tartessos.&#x201d; Three reasons warrant this interpretation. Firstly, the plural noun &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af;, or &#x3c0;&#x3b7;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af;, denotes &#x201c;waters&#x201d; or &#x201c;streams&#x201d; as well as &#x201c;springs,&#x201d; at least in works of authors such as Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.<sup>87</sup> Secondly, the nouns &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af; and &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; appear to form in the text an apposition, as they have the same referent: Geryon or Eurytion; Strabo&#x2019;s quotation suggests that the &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af; of the river Tartessos, by which Geryon or Eurytion was born, were near &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; instead of near the headwaters of the river. &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; is the island at which, in Pseudo-Apollodorus&#x2019; narrative, Heracles arrived after entering the ocean with the intent of stealing Geryon&#x2019;s cattle. And thirdly, the meaning of the rare adjective &#x1f00;&#x3c1;&#x3b3;&#x3c5;&#x3c1;&#x3bf;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3b6;&#x3bf;&#x3c5;&#x3c2;, &#x201c;of silver-rich roots,&#x201d; for the noun &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x1f70;&#x3c2; would appear as almost awkwardly redundant if the meaning of &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af; were &#x201c;springs&#x201d;; this difficulty is removed if &#x3c0;&#x3b1;&#x3b3;&#x3b1;&#x3af; is taken to denote &#x201c;streams&#x201d; or &#x201c;waters&#x201d; instead.<sup>88</sup>
</p>
<p>Stesichorus&#x2019; lifetime roughly coincides with the period in which Greeks&#x2019; relations with the kingdom of Tartessos were, according to Herodotus, the closest. These relations may have provided the circumstances under which the story of Heracles and Geryon came to be known in Greek Sicily by Stesichorus&#x2019; time. Himera had been founded in ca. 649 BCE by Chalcidians from Zancle, upon the straits of Messina, and later peopled by settlers from Syracuse as well. Zancle had been founded by Chalcidians from Chalcis, on the island of Euboea, and by Chalcidians from Cumae, in the Bay of Naples.<sup>89</sup> Located on the north coast of Sicily, Himera offered a convenient position on the long-distance route to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the western Mediterranean from the Aegean and eastern Greece which Chalcidians shared with Phocaeans;<sup>90</sup> furthermore, Himera was among the earliest cities to coin with silver, arguably procured from southwest Iberia.<sup>91</sup>
</p>
<p>The story of Heracles and Geryon, however, may have circulated round Sicily and other regions of the Greek world much earlier, to judge from archaeological evidence of communication between southwest Iberia, Sicily, and elsewhere in the Mediterranean from the tenth to the eighth century BCE;<sup>92</sup> also from Hesiod&#x2019;s reference to the story in his <italic>Theogony</italic>.<sup>93</sup> As the tradition included Heracles&#x2019; stay in Sicily on his return to Greece with Geryon&#x2019;s cattle, it may have been known in Sicily from earlier still, in Mycenaean times. Archaeological remains from the Mycenaean period have been discovered in the valley of the Guadalquivir River, as well as in Sicily.<sup>94</sup>
</p>
<p>Coded as a myth, the tradition may have been played as drama in festivals in the island that commemorated Heracles or Geryon, or both; in these festivals Stesichorus himself or, more likely, a chorus would recite and sing the <italic>Geryoneis</italic>.<sup>95</sup> In the sixth century BCE, the tradition was popular in Sicily to the extent that Greek political leaders used it to make military initiatives against natives and the Phoenicians that had settled in western Sicily legitimate.<sup>96</sup>
</p>
<p>As noted above, Strabo, elsewhere in his <italic>Treatise</italic>
<sup>97</sup> and quoting Pherecydes of Athens, commented that &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3b5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; was a 100-stadium long island that housed the core of the multi-sited city community (&#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2;) of C&#xe1;diz, which Strabo appropriately referred to as &#x201c;&#x3c4;&#x1f70; &#x393;&#x3ac;&#x3b4;&#x3f5;&#x3b9;&#x3c1;&#x3b1;,&#x201d; literally &#x201c;The Cadizes&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2A</bold>
</xref>). Strabo cautioned his readers that other authors had written that &#x2019;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; was a different island, smaller than, and parallel to, the 100-stadium long island. According to <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B94">Garc&#xed;a y Bellido (1947</xref>, p. 191), this smaller island is likely a reference to what is known in modern times as &#x201c;isla de Le&#xf3;n&#x201d; or &#x201c;isla de San Fernando&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">

</xref>). Strabo remarked that fat cattle grazed on the lush pastures of this smaller island and that one stadium (some 185 m) separated one island from the other.</p>
<p>Timaeus of Tauromenium referred to the 100-stadium island as &#x201c;K&#x3bf;&#x3c4;&#x3b9;&#x3bd;&#x3bf;&#x1fe6;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#x3b1;&#x201d; (<italic>Kotino&#xfb;ssa</italic>) because of the many wild olive trees grown in it.<sup>98</sup> At the north-western tip of this long island, close to the core settlement of the city community (&#x201c;&#x394;&#x3b9;&#x3b4;&#x3cd;&#x3bc;&#x3b7;,&#x201d; <italic>Did&#xfd;m&#xea;</italic>, &#x201c;double,&#x201d; &#x201c;twofold&#x201d; or &#x201c;twin&#x201d;), Strabo specified, stood a temple for the worship of K&#x3c1;&#x3cc;&#x3bd;&#x3bf;&#x3c2; (<italic>Kronos</italic>): &#x3c4;&#xf2; K&#x3c1;&#xf3;&#x3bd;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd; (the <italic>Kronion</italic>). Hesiod<sup>99</sup> represents this character (Saturn, for the Romans) as the king of the Titans who ruled mankind during its golden age, before the time of the Gods.</p>
<p>In front of the long island, toward the north, according to Strabo, lay a third island, the smallest of the archipelago (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2A</bold>
</xref>), where the &#x1f00;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3af;&#x3c0;&#x3bf;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2; (<italic>ant&#xed;polis</italic>, &#x201c;city opposite&#x201d;) of the city community stood.</p>
<p>In addition, Strabo wrote that settlers from the city could be found somewhere on the mainland. A few decades before his time, ca. 40 BCE, a new port, &#x3c4;&#x1f78; &#x3b5;&#x3c0;&#x3af;&#x3bd;&#x3b5;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd; (<italic>T&#xf2; ep&#xed;neion</italic>), had been built across the bay, probably where El Puerto de Santa Mar&#xed;a now stands, near the present-day mouth of the Guadalete River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2A</bold>
</xref>).</p>
<p>In connection with the Guadalete Estuary, Strabo also made mention<sup>100</sup> of one &#x201c;Port of Menestheus&#x201d; (&#x201c;&#x1f41; &#x3fa;&#x3f5;&#x3bd;&#x3f5;&#x3c3;&#x3b8;&#x3ad;&#x3c9;&#x3c2; &#x3ba;&#x3b1;&#x3bb;&#x3bf;&#x3cd;&#x3bc;&#x3f5;&#x3bd;&#x3bf;&#x3c2; &#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3bc;&#x3ae;&#x3bd;&#x201d;) named after the Athenian leader whose exploits in the Trojan War were recounted by Homer.<sup>101</sup> This settlement, possibly the present-day site of Do&#xf1;a Blanca (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2B</bold>
</xref>),<sup>102</sup> was arguably a port of C&#xe1;diz long before Strabo&#x2019;s time.</p>
<p>Elsewhere on the littoral of the bay stood one &#x201c;Oracle of Menestheus&#x201d; (&#x201c;&#x3c4;&#x1f78; &#x3bc;&#x3b1;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3b5;&#x1fd6;o&#x3bd; &#x3fa;&#x3f5;&#x3bd;&#x3f5;&#x3c3;&#x3b8;&#x3ad;&#x3c9;&#x3c2;&#x201d;) which, as Strabo&#x2019;s narrative suggests, was at or near the present-day town of Rota (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2B</bold>
</xref>), where apparently Roman and pre-Roman temple remains surfaced in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.<sup>103</sup> According to the early third century CE writer Flavius Philostratus the Athenian,<sup>104</sup> Menestheus was the object of a cult among the citizens of C&#xe1;diz.</p>
<p>As remarked earlier, the Heracles of Greek traditions such as those recorded by Hesiod, Strabo, and Pseudo-Apollodorus came to be identified in antiquity with a demigod in Near Eastern mythology known as Melkarth. The cult of this demigod was tied to the agricultural cycle in Tyre from the tenth century BCE onward.<sup>105</sup> The same mythology also represents Melkarth as a former divine king of Tyre who discovered the purple dye,<sup>106</sup> a major source of wealth for the city, and organized and led daring commercial expeditions and colonization in the Mediterranean.<sup>107 ,  108</sup> Identifying Melkarth with Heracles may have originated in Cyprus,<sup>109</sup> Sicily<sup>110</sup> or C&#xe1;diz<sup>111</sup> during the first half of the first millennium BCE. Possibly relying on Posidonius of Apamea, who spent some time in C&#xe1;diz in the early first century BCE, Strabo would inform<sup>112</sup> that the city had been founded some years after the end of the Trojan War by Tyrian explorers who were searching the far west of the Mediterranean for the trail of Heracles,&#x2019; that is, Melkarth&#x2019;s, exploits. The narrative of the crossing of the Gibraltar Straits by Heracles to steal Geryon&#x2019;s cattle may be interpreted to mean that the Tyrians considered Melkarth to be either the first Easterner to open a sea route in the Mediterranean Basin and the Atlantic Ocean for trading with Tartessos, or the first to set the terms of trade with Tartessian authorities, or both. Strabo also wrote<sup>113</sup> that, upon reaching the long island of C&#xe1;diz, the Tyrian explorers founded the city at its farthest end, while erecting the temple for Heracles, the <italic>Her&#xe1;kleion</italic>, at the nearest end (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;2A</bold>
</xref>).</p>
<p>In the Old Testament, one encounters in <italic>The First Book of Kings</italic>, among other places, references to <italic>Tarshish</italic>, a faraway land across the Mediterranean Sea to which the joint trade fleets of King Solomon of Israel and King Hiram of Tyre sailed in search of &#x201c;gold and silver, ivory, apes, and baboons.&#x201d;<sup>114</sup> Before the rise of the Jerez Paradigm,<sup>115</sup> it was commonly understood that this <italic>Tarshish</italic> was the Old Hebrew name for the land and kingdom of Tartessos mentioned by Greek or Roman authors such as Herodotus. Archaeological evidence encountered in the city of Huelva, mentioned below, substantiates contacts with Phoenician seafarers and merchants as from the tenth century BCE.</p>
<p>In the case of Avienus, he clearly stated in his poem <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> that the realm of Tartessos had comprised <italic>Phoenices</italic>, <italic>Punici</italic>, <italic>Libyphoenices</italic>, and <italic>Graii</italic>, as well as other ethnic communities and Tartessians themselves. Did he really rely for his poem on one or more sixth century BCE sources, such as rutters (&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3c0;&#x3bb;&#x3bf;&#x1fd6;), travelogues (&#x3c0;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3bf;&#x3b4;&#x3bf;&#x3b9;) or a combination of the two? Critic Marcotte posited (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B149">Marcotte, 2000</xref>, pp. 50-51, 92-93), somewhat incongruously, that while Pseudo-Scymnus may indeed have relied on a sixth century BCE Greek rutter to write about the Phocaean colony of <italic>Main&#xe1;k&#xea;</italic> in his travelogue, Avienus used Pseudo-Scymnus&#x2019; travelogue as well as other later sources to produce what is little more than a fourth century CE literary construct about diverse subjects including the realm of Tartessos. This interpretation overlooks that the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> presents far more information than what is provided in Pseudo-Scymnus&#x2019; travelogue and that Avienus cites at least one author, Himilco, who was clearly an early fifth-, if not a late sixth-, century BCE explorer.</p>
<p>Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce was perhaps the chief proponent of the view that the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> is basically a literary construct, a reflection of Avienus&#x2019; fondness for pre-Christian progress in science, philosophy, and the arts (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">Gonz&#xe1;lez Ponce, 1995</xref>). He argued that only the creative archaism of a poet can account for (a) Avienus&#x2019; use of ethnic and place names that appear in the works of revered authors of a distant past instead of the names used by authors closer to his time (for example, the Greek ethnic names <italic>Hiberi</italic> and <italic>Tartessii</italic> instead of the Roman <italic>Hispani</italic> and <italic>Turdetani</italic>, respectively, or the place name <italic>Mons Cassius</italic> instead of <italic>Hareni Montes</italic> which is mentioned by Pliny the Elder); and, (b) his use of the <italic>hapax</italic> names, as in the case of the city of <italic>Herbi</italic>.</p>
<p>These are two rather dissimilar premises for the same conclusion. The former is unwarranted. The <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> contains usage of both Greek and Roman names, depending on the context of Avienus&#x2019; work. While in some parts of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> Avienus cites a source such as Himilco or Euctemon, in other parts he comments on a text, or texts, that he has copied down or translated into Latin. One example is the reference to the Phoenician colony of <italic>Gadir</italic>, which Avienus, like many a Roman author, opines that it was located where the city of Tartessos had stood.</p>
<p>Other instances in which Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce identified creative archaism seem to merely reflect his own interpretation of place names in the poem. For example, by arguing that Avienus ought to have used the name <italic>Hareni Montes</italic> in lieu of <italic>Mons Cassius</italic>, Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce is simply suggesting that <italic>Mons Cassius</italic> was a hillock, or a range thereof, located in the Do&#xf1;ana spit where Pliny the Elder placed <italic>Hareni Montes</italic>. As we shall see, our own evidence points farther east instead, to the hills that tower above Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda, by the present-day mouth of the Guadalquivir River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>).</p>
<p>The second premise of Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce&#x2019;s argument, which concerns the use of <italic>hapax</italic> names, implies a case of <italic>Argumentum ad Ignorantiam</italic>, a type of fallacy.<sup>116</sup> The presence of <italic>hapax</italic> names is not in and of itself evidence of Avienus&#x2019; literary penchant for a merely aesthetic archaism, let alone outright evidence of lack of credibility of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as a source for knowledge about Tartessos. The very rareness of the contents of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> (an unfamiliar ethnic, political geography as well as a sequence of singular names for places and geographical features) argues as much for authenticity as for lack of credibility.</p>
<p>Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce recognized (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">Gonz&#xe1;lez Ponce, 1995</xref>, pp. 110-113) that there are significant anomalies in the narrative structure of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> if the poem is treated analytically as an example of a &#x201c;periplographic&#x201d; genre in the literature of antiquity, which analysis Gonz&#xe1;lez-Ponce himself did extensively in his essay to sustain his position against the reliability of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as a historical source. However, even the actual existence of such a genre has been called into question.<sup>117</sup>
</p>
<p>Partly due to the testimony of neglected authors such as Strabo, Pseudo-Apollodorus, and Avienus, and partly in response to new archaeological data and research tendencies since the 1990s, scholarship in recent decades demonstrates renewed interest in the old written sources for the early history of the area.<sup>118</sup> As a consequence, scholars have resumed the practice of critically comparing archaeological evidence with literary sources.</p>
<p>New archaeological evidence includes the discovery of traces of Copper Age and Bronze Age settlement in the city of C&#xe1;diz.<sup>119</sup> Researchers also have access to increasing numbers of Greek pottery fragments and fresh readings of <italic>The Iliad</italic> and <italic>The Odyssey</italic> that inform about Greek presence in the late second millennium BCE as well as the first millennium BCE in southern Iberia.<sup>120</sup> These developments enrich an existing body of archaeological evidence from the periods covered by the pre-1968 narratives about Tartessos, including those of the Old Testament, which comprehends, for instance, two bronze Corinthian helmets from the seventh and sixth centuries BCE that were found close to Huelva and Jerez in the 1930s.<sup>121</sup> The most remarkable finds since include the Mycenaean pottery sherds excavated at Montoro, located mid-way up the Guadalquivir River;<sup>122</sup> the Phoenician, Cypriot, Greek, Sardinian, and Italic ceramics dated from the tenth to the early eighth century BCE recovered in the city of Huelva;<sup>123</sup> an apparently Phoenician settlement site and necropolis, La Rebanadilla and Cortijo de San Isidro, some 8 km southwest of the city of M&#xe1;laga, from the ninth century BCE;<sup>124</sup> a third bronze Corinthian helmet, seemingly from the present-day mouth of the Guadalquivir River;<sup>125</sup> and the Greek pottery from the archaic period found on the M&#xe1;laga coast, in the city of M&#xe1;laga itself, and in the city of Huelva (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>).<sup>126</sup> In addition, the city of M&#xe1;laga has produced the imposing, subterranean tomb of an apparently prominent Greek warrior of the sixth century BCE,<sup>127</sup> as well as a Greek inscription on sherds of a Samian cup from the seventh century BCE that is the oldest Greek inscription thus far found in Iberia.<sup>128</sup> These finds lend support to the existence of a Phocaean settlement in what is now the city of M&#xe1;laga or its vicinity, <italic>Main&#xe1;k&#xea;</italic>, in the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, irrespective of its size and duration.<sup>129</sup> In the city of C&#xe1;diz, at the site known as &#x201c;Teatro c&#xf3;mico,&#x201d; archaeologists have identified an early Phoenician settlement that was destroyed ca. 600 BCE.<sup>130</sup> Destructions or abandonments from around 600 BCE or during the first half of the sixth century BCE, that is, the period in which relations between Tartessos and Greek traders and colonists were, according to Herodotus, closest, have also been recognized at the Phoenician settlements on the M&#xe1;laga coast.<sup>131</sup>
</p>
<p>As archaeological evidence accumulates, some scholars have over the past few decades reconsidered questions about the less material aspects of Tartessos as a social and political formation that the Jerez Paradigm is of little use to contemplate. These questions concern themes such as social and political structures and forms of production, distribution, and exchange, about which the written sources&#x2014;e. g., Justin&#x2019;s transmission of a mythical charter in connection with King Habis&#x2014;offer some information. Recent reappraisals of the archaeological data animated by interest in these non-material themes make a case for a culturally hybrid, decentralized polity of Tartessos that interacted with the Phoenician colonies and later with Greek merchants in territorially differentiated, complex ways.<sup>132</sup> Such a new concept of Tartessos, these scholars argue, justify that the ninth through to the fifth century BCE be regarded and approached as a Tartessic period on its own merit in the culture history of southwest Iberia rather than be merely classified as the local expression of the Orientalizing horizon that at the time extended across the Mediterranean.</p>
<p>Despite this progress, the representations of Tartessos that have emerged since the Jerez symposium, like many of those produced under the Schulten-Garc&#xed;a y Bellido Paradigm that preceded it, rest upon a model of the Tartessian landscape in southwest Iberia, and specifically of the littoral zone, that requires significant revision. Originating in the reconstructions of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">Bl&#xe1;zquez (1909</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">1923)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">Bonsor (2016</xref>, pp. 220-221), and Lammerer (in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B214">Schulten, 1945</xref>, maps III and IV), this model was later developed in the work of Gavala y Laborde in the Guadalete, Tinto-Odiel, and Guadalquivir paleo-estuaries. Gavala concluded (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">Gavala y Laborde, 1927</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B101">1936</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B102">1959a</xref>) that sedimentation in and filling of the paleo-estuaries in the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz during the Holocene was slow and gradual and that none of these environments could have sustained a significant human population, let alone a pre-industrial city, prior to the Middle Ages. Such a thesis conditioned the identification of some southwestern Spanish locations named in ancient sources, including Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. For example, according to Gavala, the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary remained a massive body of marine water in Tartessian times; this contention led some scholars<sup>133</sup> to posit that this paleo-estuary is represented by the &#x201c;Gulf of Tartessos&#x201d; (<italic>Sinus Tartessius</italic>) in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>.</p>
<p>However, Gavala&#x2019;s research, like that of Bl&#xe1;zquez, Bonsor, and Lammerer, predates the radiocarbon revolution, plate tectonics theory, and, obviously, the impact of novel research in coastal geomorphology and environments. Since the 1970s, the model has been rendered obsolete by new conclusions on the evolution of the littoral of southwest Iberia as framed by such scientific breakthroughs.<sup>134</sup> It has become widely accepted that, after the Atlantic Ocean reached the Postglacial Maximum, some 6,500 to 5,500 years ago, the paleo-estuaries of the area were subject to the complex interactions, in cycles of different duration, of many natural variables (e.g., marine currents, ocean transgression, fluvial sedimentation, neo-tectonic movement), the effects of which combined with those resulting from paleo-environmental changes generated by anthropogenic activity.</p>
<p>Sooner or later, such a developing geomorphological and paleo-environmental fresh understanding of the evolution of the southwestern Iberian coastlines in the Holocene had to impinge upon the issue of the location of the city of Tartessos.</p>

<title>The littoral of Southwest Iberia in the middle and late Holocene: geomorphological and environmental transformations</title>
<p>Because of the jointly transformative action of the fluvial processes, the prevailing winds, the sea waves, the tide system, and the neo-tectonic pressures, the physical geography of the lower Guadalquivir River basin is at present significantly different from what it was in previous moments of the Middle and Late Holocene (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5</bold>
</xref>). The spits, for instance, did not always prograde at the same rate and with the same orientation, contrary to what Jessen (in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B214">Schulten, 1945</xref>, pp. 270-273) and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B101">Gavala y Laborde (1936)</xref> assumed in the first half of the twentieth century. These littoral formations were also, from time to time, subject to substantial erosion caused by high-energy, extreme wave events (EWEs), whether climate-related (cyclonic periods, violent storm surges) or generated by the neo-tectonic pressures (tsunamis). Specifically, as we shall see presently, recurrent very destructive EWEs significantly altered the landscape: they cut Do&#xf1;ana short, turned La Algaida into an island, and created tidal inlets that favored bifurcation of the river mouths in the paleo-estuary. These developments broadened and multiplied communication between the hydrological system in the paleo-estuary, on the one side, and the ocean, on the other. In addition, cheniers formed in the former (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5D</bold>
</xref>). &#x201c;Chenier&#x201d; is a technical term, borrowed from Louisiana French, for a relict beach ridge made of deposits of sand and shell with a littoral strand morphology overlying the clayey infilling of marshland. Cheniers indicate the location of ancient shorelines while signaling changes in paleo-environmental conditions, specifically in sediment supply, river discharge, sea level, frequency of storms, and extent of communication between an estuary and the sea.<sup>135</sup>
</p>
<p>Subsidence north of the BGF fault was inordinately rapid from ca. 2000 BCE till the first centuries of the common era; this process invited large amounts of sediment to be deposited in the Guadalquivir Estuary as well as offshore. At the present-day mouth of the river, the accumulation of Holocene sedimentation is as thick as 100 m. As the subsidence started to decelerate, less than two thousand years ago, the present-day geomorphology of Do&#xf1;ana and La Algaida above sea level in the estuary began to form. Do&#xf1;ana, arching in a southeasterly direction, is nowadays just some 500 m, the width of the river mouth, away from Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda. North of this town, La Algaida is connected to the Mio-Pliocene deposits in the form of gentle hills, on which Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda stands, by means of a sand bridge or tombolo;<sup>136</sup> as we shall see, this sand bridge blocks a former outlet of the paleo-estuary east of the spit (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">

<p>Correlation of sedimentary, radiocarbon, paleo-environmental, and geomorphic evidence from the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary with the same types of evidence from the other paleo-estuaries in the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz as well as from central Portugal suggests that at least four large EWEs hit the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary from the Chalcolithic through to the Roman period. For convenience, we shall refer to these events with the letters A, B, C, and D. EWE A occurred ca. 2000 BCE; EWE B, ca. 1550; EWE C, ca. 1150 BCE; and EWE D, sometime between 100 and 300 CE. On the Iberian side of the gulf, the impact of these marine transgressions was augmented by a gentle, low-lying coastal orography. Sea waves flooded the estuaries far inland and extensively. Analysis of cores extracted from the sedimentation in the&#xa0;paleo-estuaries have revealed depositional facies that are characteristic of such high-energy events: sandy sedimentary lags, built up on erosive bases, that contain massive accumulations of estuarine and marine shells, within clayey-sandy matrices that also include gravel and lithoclasts.<sup>137</sup> Subsequent dynamics in the paleo-estuaries, fluvial as well as marine, caused these intrusive, extraneous deposits to accumulate in sandy and shelly cheniers, which conditioned the layout of newly formed tidal inlets; these inlets, in turn, defined the river mouths.</p>
<p>EWE A, ca. 2000 BCE, probably a tsunami, was the largest and most cataclysmic of all four EWEs as it transformed dramatically the geography of the estuary; for instance, it severely eroded Do&#xf1;ana.<sup>138</sup> Furthermore, the event combined with the first effects of the 4.2 kyr cal BP event to usher in a period of depopulation of the area that lasted for about one thousand years.<sup>139</sup>
</p>
<p>EWE B, ca. 1550 BCE, may have been a violent storm or a moderate tsunami, as suggested by the sedimentological and mostly estuarine faunal evidence retrieved from cores drilled in the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary. It seems that Do&#xf1;ana, which had recovered from EWE A, was little affected.<sup>140</sup>
</p>
<p>EWE C, ca. 1150 BCE, probably a large tsunami, is at the origin of the physical geography of the Iberian littoral of the gulf as described in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>. In the paleo-estuary of the rivers Tinto and Odiel (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;4A</bold>
</xref>), the sea waves left deposits as far inland as 16 km from the mouth of the Tinto River.<sup>141</sup> In the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary, the event caused extensive erosion of Do&#xf1;ana as well as a rupture in La Algaida, then emerging, that transformed this new spit into an isle (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5B</bold>
</xref>).<sup>142</sup> The marine transgression terminated a Middle Bronze Age settlement in the present-day marsh of Rajaldabas, near Trebujena (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5B</bold>
</xref>),<sup>143</sup> and probably other settlements in the area as well, such as Lebrija (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5B</bold>
</xref>).<sup>144</sup> Further southeast, in the bay of C&#xe1;diz and the Guadalete paleo-estuary, the impact of EWE C must have been significant as well, to judge from the abandonment of a Middle Bronze Age settlement recognized on the Valdelagrana spit (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;6A</bold>
</xref>)<sup>145</sup> and from geomorphological transformations in much of the sub-aerial extension of the C&#xe1;diz archipelago, by which the sandy formations (beaches and dunes) covering the rocky ledges of the islands shifted eastward.<sup>146</sup>
</p>
<p>Following EWE C, the low-energy marine dynamics that had been at work in the gulf since the Postglacial Maximum resumed. In the Tinto-Odiel paleo-estuary, progradation of the spits Punta Umbr&#xed;a and Punta Arenilla began turning an open estuary into a semi-closed one that connected with the ocean by way of the wide outlet of the Odiel River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;4A, B</bold>
</xref>).<sup>147</sup> In the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary, isolation from the sea proceeded at a faster pace. Do&#xf1;ana began expanding once more, this time more toward the southeast than before, generating and developing, in a few centuries, a coastal lagoon (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;5B, C</bold>
</xref>); because of the extension of this spit, future EWEs hitting the area would impact the sea front far more than the inner sectors of the paleo-estuary.<sup>148</sup> Paleo-environmental evidence in the sedimentation (namely, anthropogenic nitrophilous and anthropozoogenous herbs, coprophilous fungi, cereal pollen, macro-charcoal particles from anthropogenic fires) indicates that these inner sectors were resettled again, after about one thousand years of depopulation. Equipped with a Late Bronze Age material culture, the settlers lived off agriculture, livestock herding and raising and, possibly, fishing and shell-fishing.<sup>149</sup> The isle of La Algaida took longer than Do&#xf1;ana to once again become a spit due to its position vis-&#xe0;-vis the river and the ocean (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f7">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;7</bold>
</xref>); this transformation may have lasted as much as one thousand five hundred years, up until the&#xa0;Roman imperial period, when the mouth of the Guadalquivir River would approximate its present form and the coastal lagoon would turn into the present-day marshes near the mouth (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;5C, D</bold>
</xref>).<sup>150</sup> Such a geomorphic setting, with La Algaida turned again into a spit, was likely the landscape that Avienus encountered when he visited C&#xe1;diz in the fourth century CE.</p>
<p>The coetaneous development of chenier systems in the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary is consistent with these changes.<sup>151</sup> North of the present-day mouth of the river (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5D</bold>
</xref>), the marshes hold sandy chenier systems that are 50 to 100 m wide and 2.00 to 2.25 m above sea level. These chenier systems consist of overlapped strands that mark two ancient inlet channels of the ocean (or paleo-mouths of the river), which longitudinally traversed the area of the paleo-estuary till the Roman Imperial Period (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5D</bold>

The westernmost paleo-mouth, defined by the littoral strands of Vetalengua, is flanked on the west side of the estuary by the Do&#xf1;ana spit and on the east side by the present-day spit of La Algaida.

Such a development has been identified on the outer front of the bay as well, particularly from the Roman period onward.<sup>153</sup> In addition, geophysical tests conducted in the old town of C&#xe1;diz have revealed that a smaller island lay north and north-west of an outlet of the Bay of C&#xe1;diz through to the present-day beach of La Caleta (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">

<title>The Tinto-Odiel Estuary in the First Millennium BCE</title>
<p>Judging from the reconstructions obtained for the geomorphological transformations in the largest estuaries on the Iberian side of the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz during the Late Holocene, it is not unreasonable to propose that the Tinto-Odiel Estuary that developed in the first half of the first millennium BCE was the lagoon referred to in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as &#x201c;<italic>Palus Erebaea</italic>&#x201d; or &#x201c;<italic>Etrephaea</italic>&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;4B</bold>
</xref>). Located some 45 km east of the lower Guadiana River (<italic>Ana amnis</italic> in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic>), the western border of the realm of Tartessos, this lagoon was the nearest point to the Tartessian littoral from a large gulf on the west coast of Iberia that must, as Schulten and Gavala maintained, be the Tagus estuary (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>). If so, then the river named &#x201c;Hiberus&#x201d; (or &#x201c;Erebus,&#x201d; according to Pem&#xe1;n&#x2019;s interpretation, hence the adjective &#x201c;<italic>Erebaea</italic>&#x201d;) was the mouth of the Odiel River, which was much wider then than it is at present. The &#x201c;<italic>iugum</italic>&#x201d; holding a &#x201c;rich temple&#x201d; dedicated to a &#x201c;Goddess of the Underworld&#x201d; (<italic>Inferna Dea</italic>) was the promontory upon which the Christian monastery and shrine of La R&#xe1;bida now stand (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;4B, C</bold>
</xref>). These details coincide with the interpretation of Schulten and Gavala, as well as Pem&#xe1;n.</p>
<p>At the time, there was no coastal island hindering the flow of the Odiel River into the ocean, but instead a barrier: the Punta Umbr&#xed;a spit (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;4A</bold>
</xref>). The present-day isle of Salt&#xe9;s at the easternmost end of this barrier, where in 1944 Garc&#xed;a y Bellido placed the city of Tartessos, holds sandy formations that appear disconnected from the barrier (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;4C</bold>
</xref>). Although the earliest of these sandy formations dates to the first millennium BCE, its genesis has been explained by considering either the growth of the barrier, eventually cut through by a EWE in the middle, or second half, of the first millennium BCE,<sup>155</sup> or a chenier-like accumulation of sands off the barrier caused by wave action.<sup>156</sup> Regardless of their respective merits, both hypotheses imply high geo-dynamic instability at the easternmost end of the barrier, resulting in a fusion or a break of its parts as a function of shifting environmental conditions.</p>
<p>Standing near &#x201c;<italic>Palus Erebaea</italic>,&#x201d; the city of <italic>Herbi</italic> must have been at the site of the present-day city of Huelva, located at the junction of the rivers Odiel and Tinto (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;4B</bold>
</xref>). As mentioned above, substantial quantities of Phoenician, Cypriot, Sardinian, Italic, and Greek pottery sherds from the tenth to the sixth century BCE have been found in the city of Huelva since the early 1980s.<sup>157</sup> These findings, however, are insufficient evidence for ascertaining the location in Huelva of the city of Tartessos according to the Greek and Roman sources. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B214">Schulten (1945</xref>, p. 41) rightly regarded the city of Huelva as a strategic Tartessian port of trade where the Atlantic-Gulf of C&#xe1;diz-Mediterranean Sea route connected with the Tinto and Odiel fluvial routes leading to ore-rich western Sierra Morena<sup>158</sup> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">

<title>The Guadalquivir Estuary in the First Millennium BCE</title>
<p>In the case of the Guadalquivir Estuary, sedimentary, geomorphic, and chronological evidence of two river mouths from ca. 1150 BCE to ca. 350 CE substantiates the testimony offered in the works of Strabo, Mela, Pliny the Elder, and Avienus. As noted above, Strabo wrote that the river Baetis emptied into the ocean by means of two outlets and that the isle that stood in between likely held the remains of the city of Tartessos. Strabo&#x2019;s specific sources for this information were probably Posidonius of Apamea or Artemidorus Ephesius, both of whom had visited southwestern Iberia early in the first century BCE.<sup>159</sup> In the first century CE, Mela, a native of southern Iberia, reported that the river Baetis reached the ocean in the form of &#x201c;two large distributary channels that flowed from a large lake that stood not far from the ocean, each of the channels being as large as the river itself before flowing into the lake.&#x201d; By way of both distributaries, the fluvial current and tidal flows must have assured regular connection between the ocean and the lake. Pliny the Elder, Mela&#x2019;s contemporary, used the plural to refer to the area of the lower Baetis River: <italic>Aestuaria Baetis</italic>.</p>
<p>Finally, Avienus wrote that a river &#x201c;Tartessos&#x201d; (<italic>Tartessus amnis</italic>), at first thought the same as the river <italic>Baetis</italic>, upon flowing into <italic>Lacus Ligustinus</italic> surrounded the isle of <italic>Cartare</italic>, where the city of Tartessos stood, before emptying into the ocean. Our reconstruction of the geomorphological transformations in the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary in the Late Holocene fits this description, in conjunction with those of Strabo, Mela, and Pliny the Elder (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;9</bold>
</xref>). <italic>Lacus Ligustinus</italic> must be the &#x201c;large lake&#x201d; mentioned by Mela in reference to the lowest course of the river <italic>Baetis</italic> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;5C</bold>
</xref>); that is, the coastal lagoon generated in the paleo-estuary in the first millennium BCE by progradation of the Do&#xf1;ana spit. The <italic>Mons Argentarius</italic> of verse 291 of the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> may, as Schulten suggested, be Cerro de San Crist&#xf3;bal, near Grazalema. The silvery-looking mountaintop, locally known as El Torre&#xf3;n, can be readily identified from the paleo-estuary when watching over the horizon around sunrise (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f10">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;10</bold>

<p>The river Tartessos would be either the present-day Guadalquivir River or the Guadiamar River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;9</bold>
</xref>). The <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> better substantiates the case for the latter. The Guadiamar River rises north of the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary in the ore-rich highlands of western Sierra Morena, where copper, silver, and lead have been extracted and wrought since the Chalcolithic.<sup>161</sup> Such mineral wealth is one of the reasons that the land of Tartessos was well known in the eastern Mediterranean. Up until the nineteenth century, the Guadiamar River flowed across the area of the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary through today&#x2019;s relict Travieso channel (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;9A</bold>
</xref>).<sup>162</sup> Stesichorus of Himera, it will be recalled, wrote, as cited by Strabo, that the Tartessos River had &#x201c;silver-rich roots.&#x201d; Avienus stated<sup>163</sup> that the rapid, swirling waters of the Tartessos River flowed as far south as to reaching the walls of the city of Tartessos. Thus, the three inlets mentioned in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as branching off from the river eastward into the hinterland at about the latitude of the isle of <italic>Cartare</italic> would be present-day Marisma del Conejo, Arroyo Rematacaudales, and Marisma de La Majada Vieja. These three marshes or brooks are located between the Cerro de Gibraltar<sup>164</sup> to the north and the Cerro del Palmar to the south (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;9A, C</bold>
</xref>). Alternatively, on a larger-scale map, the three inlets would be the present-day creeks Salado de Lebrija and Ca&#xf1;o de Jerez and the marsh Marisma de Rajaldabas, between Las Cabezas de San Juan to the north and the Cerro del Palmar to the south (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;9A, B</bold>
</xref>). The two two-fold outlets south of the isle of <italic>Cartare</italic> mentioned in verse 289 of the <italic>Ora maritima</italic> were then part of a small delta preceding the sand bar or tombolo which at present connects the former isle to the mainland, north of Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f8">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;8</bold>
</xref>).</p>
<p>Marked at the Guadalquivir River mouth on fourteenth- and fifteenth-century portolan charts,<sup>165</sup> the Old Spanish place name &#x201c;Barrameda&#x201d; (&#x201c;central bar&#x201d;) suggests the erstwhile location of the isle of La Algaida. &#x201c;Algaida&#x201d; is an Arabic name referring to a scrubby, forested area. Upon the Christian conquest of western Andalusia in the thirteenth century, the spit was incorporated into the estates of the Duchy of Medina-Sidonia. In the fifteenth century, the Duke of Medina-Sidonia made it the property of the town of Sanl&#xfa;car de Barrameda.<sup>166</sup> Abundant archaeological remains (structures, artifacts, ceramics, lead ingots, coins) from Roman and pre-Roman times, clearly from the Post-Tartessian, or Turdetanian, period, fifth to third century BCE, were uncovered in the present-day spit of La Algaida during the 1940s<sup>167</sup> and later.<sup>168</sup> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Barbadillo-Delgado (1951)</xref> hypothesized that the spit held remains of the city of Tartessos as well. Blanco-Freijeiro and Corzo-S&#xe1;nchez interpreted the pre-Roman evidence as that of a Carthaginian shrine, on the basis that Strabo mentions<sup>169</sup> a temple in the area for the cult of the goddess <italic>Ph&#xf4;sph&#xf3;ros</italic> or <italic>Lux Dubia or Divina</italic>
<sup>170</sup> or <italic>Lucifer</italic> (that is, Aphrodite or Venus). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B160">Menanteau (1981</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B172">Palacios, 1981</xref>) vindicated Barbadillo&#x2019;s hypothesis after studying the formation of the marshes in the Guadalquivir paleo-estuary and the evolution of the Iberian littoral of the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz during the Holocene, for which he had analyzed archaeological data and aerial photographs as well as the writings of Strabo, Mela, and Avienus.</p>
<p>Unequivocal, sufficient material corroboration of Barbadillo&#x2019;s and Menanteau&#x2019;s hypothesis is yet to be discovered. In any case, neither Barbadillo nor Menanteau knew the geomorphological and philological evidence presented here. Barbadillo, particularly, lacked geomorphological evidence. For instance, he believed that, in the first millennium BCE, La Algaida was not an isle but the northernmost sector of a large island that faced the ocean and extended from the town of Chipiona in the west to the Salado de Rota River in the east (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;1</bold>
</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">
<bold>2B</bold>
</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">
<bold>6C</bold>
</xref>), some 10 km across: <italic>Er&#xfd;theia</italic>, he suggested. He argued that the Salado de Rota River is what remains of the erstwhile eastern mouth of the Guadalquivir River. For his part, Menanteau concluded that La Algaida was an isle during the first millennium BCE, but referred to it as a coastal barrier and mistakenly assigned it a longitude of as much as 100 stadia (roughly 18.5 km), that is, the length that Strabo indicated for the coastline north of the city of C&#xe1;diz that included &#x201c;Oracle of Menestheus&#x201d; and Chipiona.</p>

<p>The next geographical feature named in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> farther away toward the east from the isle of &#x201c;<italic>Cartare</italic>&#x201d; and the complex mouth of the Tartessus River is <italic>Mons Cassius</italic>.

<title>Identification of <italic>Arx Gerontis</italic> and <italic>Flumen Amplum</italic>
</title>
<p>As noted earlier, geophysical tests conducted in downtown C&#xe1;diz have revealed that an isle lay north and north-west of an outlet of the Bay of C&#xe1;diz through to the present-day beach of La Caleta (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f11">
<bold>Figure&#xa0;11</bold>
</xref>). It is our view that <italic>Arx Gerontis</italic> stood on this isle located opposite across the bay from Rota and that <italic>Arx Gerontis</italic> also held the core of the Phoenician settlement referred to in <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as &#x201c;<italic>Gadir</italic>.&#x201d; This is the area of the present-day city where the remains of Teatro C&#xf3;mico were discovered, evidence of a Phoenician settlement destroyed ca. 600 BCE. According to Strabo, in the first millennium BCE this isle housed the &#x1f00;&#x3bd;&#x3c4;&#x3af;&#x3c0;&#x3bf;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2; (<italic>ant&#xed;polis</italic>, &#x201c;city opposite&#x201d;) of the multi-sited city community of &#x3c4;&#x1f70; &#x393;&#x3ac;&#x3b4;&#x3f5;&#x3b9;&#x3c1;&#x3b1; (<italic>T&#xe0; G&#xe1;deira</italic>). The &#x3c0;&#x3cc;&#x3bb;&#x3b9;&#x3c2; counterpart sat across the 5-stadium wide outlet of the bay that runs to the beach of La Caleta; that is, on the long island of &#x2018;E&#x3c1;&#x3c5;&#x3b8;&#x3f5;&#x3af;&#x3b1; (<italic>Erythe&#xed;a</italic>), where Greek mythology places the confrontation between King Geryon and Heracles that saw the former die. Thus, <italic>Sinus Tartessius</italic>, &#x201c;the Gulf of Tartessos,&#x201d; was the Bay of C&#xe1;diz as well as the Guadalete paleo-estuary. <italic>Flumen amplum</italic> was the Guadalete River (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">

<p>Finally, the &#x201c;island consecrated to Venus Marina&#x201d; was the present-day isle (or peninsula, depending on the tidal cycle) of San Sebasti&#xe1;n (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">
<bold>Figures&#xa0;6B, C</bold>
</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f11">

Hesiod wrote<sup>171</sup> that Kronos was the king of the Titans, who had ruled mankind during its golden age prior to the time of the Gods; he became king after castrating Uranus, the Creator. Aphrodite was born out of the foam that formed about the genitals of Uranus, which Kronos had thrown into the sea.<sup>172</sup> From the point of view of Phoenician and Carthaginian mythology, Kronos and Aphrodite were likely the Greek renditions of the overarching god Baal Hammon and his consort, Ashtart or Tanit.<sup>173</sup>
</p>
<p>To conclude, there is no incontrovertible reason to doubt the credibility of Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> as a historical source for sixth-century BCE Iberia, particularly as concerns the information it offers about the realm of Tartessos in the southernmost third of the peninsula. The dating of Avienus&#x2019; composition, some 900 years after the end of contact with this multi-ethnic polity, is no evidence against the poem containing much valuable information from the time when this polity existed. The literary form of the source should also not dissuade analysts from recognizing its documentary value. Neither should Avienus&#x2019; admiration for pre-Christian explorers, geographers, ethnologists, and historians, nor the occurrence of ethnic and place names that can be read in no other written source preserved from antiquity.</p>
<p>The first clear indication of the value of the poem is that descriptions therein contained of the geomorphology of the southwestern Spanish littoral differ significantly from those of the same area during the period when Avienus himself paid a visit to C&#xe1;diz, in the fourth century CE. For example, by the time of Avienus&#x2019; visit, the Guadalquivir Estuary had one outlet instead of two, and <italic>Lacus Ligustinus</italic> had turned into marshland.</p>
<p>Furthermore, geomorphological reconstruction of the area for the time from ca. 1150 BCE, when EWE C hit the Gulf of C&#xe1;diz, into the Roman Imperial Period, is consistent with much of Avienus&#x2019; description and aligns with the less detailed information about the same area early in the Roman period conveyed by other authors of antiquity including Pseudo-Scymnus, Strabo, Mela, and Pliny the Elder. Landmarks mentioned in the <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> that have caused dispute among scholars comprise <italic>Palus Erebaea</italic>, <italic>Hiberus Amnis</italic>, <italic>Tartessus Amnis</italic>, <italic>Lacus Ligustinus</italic>, <italic>Cartare Insula</italic>, <italic>Tartessus Civitas</italic>, <italic>Mons Argentarius</italic>, <italic>Mons Cassius</italic>, <italic>Fani Prominens</italic>, <italic>Arx Gerontis</italic>, <italic>Sinus Tartessius</italic>, and <italic>Flumen Amplum</italic>. We do not think that the exact locations of these landmarks can be exclusively sustained archaeologically and philologically; we present evidence that rests instead upon the results of geomorphological, chronological, and paleo-environmental studies undertaken since the 1970s in the areas of the paleo-estuaries of the Tinto-Odiel, Guadalete, and Guadalquivir rivers. Geophysical and archaeological testing of this conclusion is of course required in turn; though that is beyond the scope of this article, by which we propose a hypothesis so based for the location of Tartessos that justifies such a testing.</p>
<p>Avienus likely relied on at least two rutters from the early sixth century BCE: one for the navigation from the North Atlantic down to the political and trade center of Tartessos and the other for the navigation from this center on to the Phocaean colony of Marseilles. Yet, regardless of the number and form of Avienus&#x2019; sources, his poem would appear to contain trustworthy and detailed information about the political, ethnic, and physical geography of the realm of Tartessos. Regaining this information as a historical document significantly contributes to the renewed interest in recent decades in the writings of antiquity that mention this archaic social and political formation of southern Iberia.</p>
<p>Prying into the ground was not such a bad idea, after all. It has made way for due appraisal of Avienus&#x2019; testimony.</p>

<sup>1</sup>A preliminary, shorter version of this article was presented in the International Conference <italic>Ancient Greece and the Modern World</italic> (Olympia, Greece, August 28-31, 2016 ) with the title &#x201c;The Representation of the Kingdom of Tartessus by the Ancient Greeks Revisited: New Evidence for a Forgotten Cause&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B237">Villar&#xed;as-Robles and Rodr&#xed;guez-Ram&#xed;rez, 2017</xref>); two years later, such a contribution was selected for a book published in the United Kingdom (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B238">Villar&#xed;as-Robles and Rodr&#xed;guez-Ram&#xed;rez, 2019</xref>). Like that shorter version, the present article is a product of the Hinojos Project, a multidisciplinary investigation into the hypothetical cause-and-effect relationship between geomorphological transformations and cultural developments in Southwest Spain during the Middle and Late Holocene, from the Neolithic period through to the Roman Imperial Period. We appreciate the support and encouragement of S. Papamarinopoulos, of the University of Patras, Jennifer Sacher, of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, J. A. Berenguer and J. and H. Rodr&#xed;guez-Somolinos, of CSIC, M. Naranjo, Mayor of Hinojos, J. C. Rubio, Director of Espacio Natural de Do&#xf1;ana (END), R. Fern&#xe1;ndez-Baca, Director of Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Hist&#xf3;rico (IAPH), and the personnel of the END administration, Estaci&#xf3;n Biol&#xf3;gica de Do&#xf1;ana (EBD), Delegaci&#xf3;n de Cultura of Junta de Andaluc&#xed;a in Huelva, and Organismo Aut&#xf3;nomo Parques Nacionales (OAPN) of the Spanish Ministry for The Environmental Transition and The Demographic Challenge (MITECO). In addition, we appreciate the comments to our reading of Avienus&#x2019; <italic>Ora Maritima</italic> by M. Conde-Salazar, of CSIC, and the comments to our understanding of the relevant excerpts of Pseudo-Scymnus&#x2019; and Strabo&#x2019;s works by I. Paj&#xf3;n-Leyra, also of CSIC. We thank Micaela Pattison, of The University of Sydney, Jane B. Carter, of Tulane University, and other, anonymous, reviewers of other academic institutions for their thorough, insightful revisions of drafts of the manuscript. Responsibility for the form and contents of the article can only rest with us exclusively, however.</p>

Vella duly remarked on the new turn in Phoenician and Punic Studies that had started in the 1960s, in Iberia and elsewhere in the Mediterranean. As a measure of the magnitude attained by the discipline, he called attention to the Fourth International Conference of Phoenician and Punic Studies convened in C&#xe1;diz in October 1995, which &#x201c;attracted about 200 papers and 600 participants&#x201d; (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B231">Vella, 1996</xref>, pp. 245, 248). Mederos Mart&#xed;n discussed the extension and impact of archaeological excavations at Phoenician sites in northern Morocco from the late 1940s and in southern Spain from the early 1960s, which led to a &#x201c;redescubrimiento&#x201d; of the Phoenicians in Spain after the Jerez symposium (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B156">Mederos Mart&#xed;n, 2001</xref>, p. 37; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B157">Mederos Mart&#xed;n, 2004</xref>, pp. 38-43).</p>

<sup>15</sup>Two days of navigation to <italic>Insula Sacra</italic> (<italic>Or. Mar.</italic> 108-109). The <italic>Insulae Oestrymnides</italic> spread out across a gulf by or past Cape <italic>Oestrymnis</italic> (<italic>Or. Mar.</italic> 94) sailing from the south. In 1870 K. M&#xfc;llenhoff (in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B216">Schulten, 1955b</xref>, p. 58) placed this cape in westernmost Brittany, an interpretation that Schulten himself (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B215">Schulten, 1955a</xref>, p. 93) and other commentators accepted, including <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Berthelot (1934</xref>, p. 57), <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B103">Gavala y Laborde (1959b</xref>, p. 67), and Alvar (in Mangas and Pl&#xe1;cido, 1994, p. 55). Off westernmost Brittany is the isle, erstwhile cape, of Ouessant (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B215">Schulten, 1955a</xref>, p. 93). Strabo mentioned (1.4.5; 4.4.1) for present-day Brittany a cape K&#x3ac;&#x3b2;&#x3b1;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd; (<italic>K&#xe1;baion</italic>) in the territory of the &#x1f68;&#x3c3;&#x3c4;&#x3b9;&#x3bc;&#x3af;&#x3bf;&#x3b9; (<italic>&#xd4;stim&#xed;oi</italic>), possibly Ouessant; his sources were at least Pytheas of Massalia, who had explored the North Atlantic in the mid fourth century BCE, and Posidonius of Apamea, who lived in southwest Iberia in the early first century BCE.</p>
<p>
<sup>16</sup>Apparently, Strabo understood (2.5.15; 3.2.9; 3.5.11) that the <italic>Insulae Oestrymnides</italic> were the same as the &#x3bd;&#x1fc6;&#x3c3;&#x3bf;&#x3b9; K&#x3b1;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#x3b9;&#x3c4;&#x3f5;&#x3c1;&#x3af;&#x3b4;&#x3f5;&#x3c2; (<italic>n&#xea;soi Kassiter&#xed;des</italic>, &#x201c;Tin islands&#x201d;) to which Herodotus (3.115) had referred. By contrast, Diodorus Siculus (5.38), first century BCE, and Pliny the elder (<italic>N. H.</italic> 4.119; 7.56; 34.47, 156) distinguished between the two archipelagos, the <italic>Kassiter&#xed;des</italic> being off northwest Iberia. For a recent reassessment of the matter in the light of the extant archaeological evidence from northwest Iberia, under the assumption that navigation to and trade in the area was exclusively Phoenician or Carthaginian, or both, see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">Ferrer Albelda (2019)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Albuquerque and Ferrer Albelda (2019)</xref>.</p>

Phocaeans founded &#x3bc;&#x3b1;&#x3c3;&#x3c3;&#x3b1;&#x3bb;&#x3af;&#x3b1; (Massal&#xed;a, Massilia, Marseilles) near the mouth of the Rh&#xf4;ne River ca. 600 BCE while trading with the kingdom of Tartessos (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B200">Rouillard, 1991</xref>, pp. 217-220; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Boardman, 1999</xref>, pp. 210-224; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B143">Malkin, 2011</xref>, pp. 143-152). As suggested by Thucydides (I.13.6), fifth century BCE, and Pausanias (10.8.6; 10.18.7), second century CE, commercial rivalry then ensued in the western Mediterranean between Phocaeans, on the one side, and Phoenicians and Carthaginians, on the other. Etruscans became involved in this scenario as well (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">Morel, 1966</xref>, pp. 397-399; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B200">Rouillard, 1991</xref>, pp. 220-222; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Boardman, 1999</xref>, pp. 198-210; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B143">Malkin, 2011</xref>, pp. 150-152).</p>

<sup>21</sup>The arrangement might be described, in K. Polanyi&#x2019;s terms (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B181">Polanyi, 1957</xref>, p. 256), as foreign trade of a redistributive archaic state, in this instance Tartessos, organized on the principle of reciprocity. Southern Iberia was particularly rich in silver, as it was in copper, lead, and gold. This mineral wealth was remarked on in antiquity by authors such as Strabo (3.2.10), Pliny the Elder (<italic>N. H.</italic> 34-35), and Martial (7.86.7), who wrote in the first century CE; for a modern assessment, see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B207">Salkield (1970)</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Allan (1970)</xref>. Because tin was scarce in the eastern Mediterranean, most of it had to be obtained from elsewhere, far away. See <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B236">Villard (1960</xref>, pp. 143-158, with a discussion of the Classical sources) for the long-distance access to tin from southwest Iberia, whether by sea or by land. At least the Atlantic Sea route may have been a jealously guarded secret and, therefore, a monopoly. Strabo (3.5.11) tells the story of a merchant from C&#xe1;diz sailing north along the tin route that preferred his ship to founder to letting the Roman ship following him know his destination.</p>
<p>
<sup>22</sup>Monopolistic exchange and restricted commercial areas of action in antiquity have been sources of debate since the publication of <italic>Trade and Market in the Early Empires</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B181">Polanyi, 1957</xref>). Scholars including <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Benoit (1964)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Boardman (1999</xref>, p. 215), and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B173">Pappa (2013</xref>, pp. xv, 122-123) have understood Greek trade with the kingdom of Tartessos as intrusive and closed to third parties such as Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Etruscans. Previously, Phoenician trade with the kingdom of Tartessos, at least for silver, had been exclusive as well, according to Diodorus Siculus (5.35.4). By contrast, scholars such as <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">Morel (1966</xref>, pp. 396-397; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B164">Morel, 1975</xref>, p. 872), <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B240">Whittaker (1974)</xref>, and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B143">Malkin (2011</xref>, pp. 150-152) have postulated that access to the southwestern Iberian market was always free for any interested Mediterranean power, at least till the second half of the sixth century BCE. Contrary to Polanyi&#x2019;s primitivist view on trade in ancient economies (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B181">Polanyi, 1957</xref>, pp. 256-263), Malkin regarded profit strategies and trade route controls as interpretations from a modernist perspective. Paradoxically, Malkin accepted (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B143">Malkin, 2011</xref>, p. 153), with <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B165">Morel (1984</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B166">1997)</xref>, the existence of areas of influence and monopolistic long-distance routes to reach them for other regions of the Mediterranean Basin; e. g., the Messina Straits for Greeks to reach the Thyrrhenian Sea and the northwestern Mediterranean.</p>

Later in the sixth century BCE, Carthage occupied part of Sardinia (Pausanias, 10.17.9) and concluded its first treaty with Rome (Polybius, hereafter &#x201c;Plb&#x201d;, 3.22.1-13); thereafter, early in the fifth century BCE, it was at war against much of Greek Sicily (Diodorus Siculus, 12.26.2 to 13.110.6).

<sup>29</sup>Strabo&#x2019;s story of the merchant from C&#xe1;diz protecting the secret of the Atlantic tin route in Roman times (3.5.11), mentioned earlier, suggests an enduring political as well as economic preeminence of the city in the area. Strabo also remarked (3.2.13-14) on the Phoenician presence in and influence on much of southern Iberia for a long time, even from before the time of Homer. For a modern discussion of the power of C&#xe1;diz at the western end of the known world following the decline of Tyre, see for instance <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B223">Tarradell (1969)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B144">Maluquer de Motes (1970</xref>, p. 79), and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Blanco-Freijeiro (1979</xref>, p. 101).</p>

<sup>30</sup>Diodorus Siculus informs (5.20.3-4) about the revealing incident of an Etruscan colonizing expedition to an island in the Atlantic that Phoenicians, possibly from C&#xe1;diz, had discovered; Carthage frustrated this Etruscan plan. Justin wrote (44.5.1-3) that Carthage had once helped C&#xe1;diz wage a war in southwest Iberia against the indigenous population. The army that Carthage sent ended up conquering part of the region. That was before the Carthaginian invasion of 237 BCE, following the end of the First Punic War.</p>

<sup>34</sup>In the third century BCE Eratosthenes of Cyrene (in Str. 17.1.19) would complain about the scarcity of reliable information on the western end of the known world, which he attributed to Carthage&#x2019;s interference in the routes to Sardinia and the Gibraltar Straits. Earlier, in the fifth century BCE, Pindar had informed (<italic>O</italic>. 3, 44; <italic>N</italic>. 3, 21; <italic>N</italic>. 4, 69) that navigators, presumably Greeks, could sail west beyond C&#xe1;diz, but only at their peril. In 348 BCE Carthage concluded a second treaty with Rome (Plb. 3.24.1-16), by which Romans and Rome&#x2019;s allies were not to navigate and trade in southern Iberia, let alone in the Atlantic. From an archaeological perspective, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B217">Shefton (1982</xref>, p. 365) and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B200">Rouillard (1991</xref>, pp. 28, 33, 237-240) have confirmed that Greek imports into southwest Iberia dropped significantly in the fifth century BCE.</p>

<sup>111</sup>In his poem <italic>Punica</italic> (late first century CE), Silius Italicus mentioned (3.1-44) a visit paid by Hannibal to the temple of Melkarth in C&#xe1;diz in 219 or 218 BCE. The gates of this temple, later known from Greek sources as &#x3c4;&#x1f78; &#x1f29;&#x3c1;&#x3ac;&#x3ba;&#x3bb;&#x3b5;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd; (<italic>The Her&#xe1;kleion</italic>), exhibited a representation of ten of Heracles&#x2019; labors, in stark contrast with the number and contents of labors in most versions of the tradition (e. g., Heracles&#x2019; twelve labors of Pseudo-Apollodorus&#x2019; narrative). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">Garc&#xed;a y Bellido (1963</xref>, pp. 104-105) called attention to this peculiarity of the <italic>Her&#xe1;kleion</italic> in arguing that such a representation of Heracles&#x2019; labors must be one of the oldest versions of the tradition, homologous to that in the temple of Heracles at Thebes and, thereby, probably older than the fifth century BCE. Early in the third century CE, Philostratus the Athenian would report (<italic>VA</italic> 5.4) that the <italic>Her&#xe1;kleion</italic> provided for the worship of both &#x201c;Theban&#x201d; Heracles and &#x201c;Egyptian,&#x201d; that is, &#x201c;Tyrian,&#x201d; Heracles; Philostratus&#x2019; source may have been Apollonius of Tyana, who visited C&#xe1;diz in the second third of the first century CE (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">Garc&#xed;a y Bellido, 1963</xref>, p. 97).</p>

The archaeologists recovered fragmented elements of a hoplite panoply: a bronze and wood shield, an iron spearhead, and a bronze Corinthian helmet that compares with the helmets encountered near Huelva and Jerez and near the present-day mouth of the Guadalquivir River. They also found by the skull of the deceased a silver saucer for pouring libations (&#x3c6;&#x3b9;&#x3ac;&#x3bb;&#x3b7;) and an Egyptian pendant holding a scarab; an intaglio on this scarab features the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, protector of soldiers. The helmet was placed on one of the edges of the cist after the burial, as apparently part of a funerary rite that has been archaeologically attested in Greece, including Athens and Corinth. A Phoenician censer (&#x3b8;&#x3c5;&#x3bc;&#x3b9;&#x3b7;&#x3c4;&#x3ae;&#x3c1;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3bd;;), with charred wood in it, was discovered near the helmet (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">Dom&#xed;nguez-Monedero, 2018</xref>, pp. 406-411).</p>
