Diverse locations were assigned to the isles of the sirens by various authorities. According to Homer's Odyssey, they were between Aeaea and the rock of Scylla. Often they have been placed in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the coast of south-western Italy near Paestum or between Sorrento and Capri: "three small islands on the southwest coast of Campania, now Licosa, St. Pietro and La Galetta", reported George Richard Crooks and Christian Frederik Ingersley on the basis of Alexander Jacob Schem, A New Latin-English School-Lexicon (Philadelphia), 1861 s.v. "Siren".
