		We try to stay 3 or 4 miles off the cape, so the wind, if it holds, will enable us to round it without too much difficulty provided that we turn straight to the north-east at right time.
		There, indeed, like at Cape Horn, the wind bears along the coast up to the cape end, but beyond it one has to sail head wind along the opposite coast.
		Moreover, its aspect changes quickly depending on whether it is seen from the south or from the west and north-west one or two miles farther.

		which relates that Agamemnon on his voyage homeward from Troy, coming to Cape Malea was driven by storms out on the sea to the extreme part of the country where Aegisthus resided, but that the gods changed the wind and he alighted with joy in his fatherland.
		Observing this fact scholars have analyzed the passages in question with the tools of logic, assuming that the verse about Cape Malea is based upon the localization of Agamemnon as well as of Aegisthus in Lacedaemon.
		Agamemnon was driven by the gale from the landing place in Argolis at which he aimed, but succeeded in coming ashore at a far-off place in Argolis where Aegisthus lived; for as a member of the royal dynasty he must have a castle and a town.

		They knew that the data handed down to them by their Oriental predecessors were so superior to theirs that they never questioned them even when there occurred in them mechanical errors of transmission.
		In my opinion Cape Sunion, the extreme promontory of Attica, was an anchor point of the Persepolis Chart which draws a line between two sheets at 24°02’E. Usually Greek geographers place this point at the latitude of the extreme SE limit of the Peloponnese and place both locations at the latitude of Rhodes.
		Strabo dared only to say that Cape Sunion is “not much farther to the north than Cape Malea.” Possibly the Persepolis Chart marked along the parallel 36° that was its northern limit, the longitude positions of Cape Sunion and Cape Malea.

		The ship, when it left Myra was obviously making for Italy (Puteoli or Ostia) by the shortest route, round Cape Malea, but off Cnidus it encountered a Northwest wind and had to sail for shelter under the lee of Crete.
		Thence along the South shore of Crete, as far as Cape Matala, a sailing ship is sheltered by the mountains from the violence of the Northwest wind; West of Cape Matala, where the coast turns toward the Northwest, there is no such shelter.
		Fair Havens must therefore be looked for to the East of Cape Matala, and there is a harbor, lying 6 miles East of Cape Matala, which is called Fair Havens by the modern Greek inhabitants of the island.

		The seas are flat calm, a relief from the meltemi that finally abated after 72 hours, and we are motoring instead of rowing, as his crew would have done in the same conditions.
		When he reached Cape Malea on the southern coast of the Peloponnisos which to this day the pilot instructs us to treat with great respect, Odysseus could not double it, as we mariners say, and so was blown southward past Crete to Africa.

		Just as the straits of Sicily were difficult to sail long ago, so too was the sea, especially that part of it off Cape Malea on account of crosswinds.
		For this reason there is the saying: "When you double 'round Malea, forget your home!" At any rate, it was a welcome alternative to traders from Italy and Asia to avoid the voyage to Malea and to land their cargoes here.
		In addition, the duties on whatever was exported on foot from the Peloponnesus and what was imported to it fell to whoever held the keys, and this has remained the case until the present time.

		Small ships would sail to the isthmus and have their ships dragged out of the water and set on rollers so the ship could be hauled to the other side and lowered in the water.
		If the ship were too large, the cargo was taken off and carried to another ship on the other side of the isthmus.
