		Thucydides makes a clear distinction between the waters of the "Ionic Gulf" (the Straits of Otranto) subject to cabotage between Greece and Sicily, and those of the "Sicilian Sea", which is marked by direct routes, and stretches as far as Cythera (IV, 53).
		However, if this is the case, it is hard to imagine the long circumnavigation along the coasts of Messina and Elis, across the mouth of the Gulf of Patras, north to the Straits of Corfu and of Otranto, and then down the coasts of the Ionian sea to the Straits of Messina.
		Merchant ships, not wanting to undergo the long circumnavigation of western Greece and the Gulf of Taranto, with all its meteorological problems and the limits to manoeuvre and astronomical seafaring, ended up casting anchor along a fairly large coastal area which could range approximately from the gulf of Squillace to the coasts of Mount Etna.
