|wketx=[[Thrinacia]] (Homeric Greek [[Θρινακία]] Thrinakíā, from [[θρῖναξ]] "[[trident]]"; English pronunciation /θrɪˈneɪʃə, θraɪ-/) is the island home of the Cattle of [[Helios]] in Book XII of Homer's [[Odyssey]], guarded by Helios' daughters [[Lampetia]] and [[Phaethusa]], born to him by [[Neaera]]. Homeric Thrinacia was later identified with [[Sicily]], and its name re-interpreted as [[Trinakria]] ([[Τρινακρία]], from τρεῖς and ἄκραι, as "[island] with three headlands"). But Homeric Thrinacia is also associated with [[Malta]], and Sicily is instead also identified with the episode of the Cyclops [[Polyphemus]], son of [[Poseidon]]. | |||
