I appologize for interrupting the topic.  Here is the Calcidius Timaeus:

I was asked for some references, to my earlier statement.
1. Aegean Sea was named after Aegeus; What was the previous name?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_Sea
"It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the "sea goat", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died.

A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word αἶγες (aiges) "waves" (Hesychius; metaphorical use of αἴξ (aix) "goat"), hence "wavy sea", cf. also αἰγιαλός (aigialos) "coast"."

2. Steisichorus(600 BC) says a known place in the Aegean was in the Atlantic Sea.
http://www.theoi.com/Kosmos/Erytheia.html
"Stesichorus, Geryoneis Fragment S86 (from Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius) :
"Stesikhoros in his Geryoneis calls an island in the Atlantic sea Sarpedonian."
[N.B. Sarpedon was the island of the Gorgones, which lay near Erytheia. Geryon himself was the grandson of the Gorgon Medousa.]"

3. This quote shows Sarpedonia is in the Aegean.
http://www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/S/Sarpedonia.html
"SARPEDONIA SARPHDONIA
A surname of Artemis, derived from cape Sarpedon in Cilicia, where she had a temple with an oracle. (Strab. xiv, p. 676.) The masculine Sarpedonius occurs as a surname of Apollo in Cilicia. (Zosim. i. 57.)"

4. The mythology of Sarpedon points to Turkey.
http://www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/S/Sarpedon.html
"became king of the Lycians"

5. The Erythia which is near the Island of the Gorgons (Kisthene) (Kisthene is located by Strabo)... is near this cape Sarpedon.
http://www.mythindex.com/greek-mythology/E/Erythrus.html
"2. A son of Rhadamanthus, who led the Erythraeans from Crete to the Ionian Erythrae. (Paus. vii. 3. § 4.)"
