What is the name of the island originating in Celtic mythology believed to lie somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland?
Fortunate Isles The Fortunate Isles or Isles of the Blessed (Greek: μακάρων νῆσοι , "makárôn nêsoi") were semi-legendary islands in the Atlantic Ocean, variously treated as a simple geographical location and as a winterless earthly paradise inhabited by the heroes of Greek mythology. The related idea of Brasil and other islands in Celtic mythology are sometimes conflated with the Greek sense of islands in the western Mediterranean: Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, the Aegadian Islands or other smaller islands of Sicily. Later on the islands were said to lie in the Western Ocean near the encircling River Oceanus; Madeira, the Canary Islands, the Azores, Cape Verde, Bermuda, and the Lesser Antilles have sometimes been cited as possible matches.
Easky Easky or Easkey (Irish: "Iascaigh" , meaning "abounding in fish" ) is a village in County Sligo, Ireland. It is on the Atlantic coast, 26 miles from Sligo and 15 miles from Ballina, County Mayo. The village name derives from the Irish language term for fish ("iasc") and "Iascaigh" literally means "abounding in fish", due to the Easky River that lies adjacent to the village itself. Easky, as a parish, was originally called "Imleach Iseal". The area is a popular tourist destination due to its scenery and water sport options. Easky is a designated area on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way tourist route.
