Abstract
[Machine translation] Pausania reports that a certain Euphemus of Caria sailed across the Atlantic driven off course by headwinds until he reached the Satyrid Islands, already known to his crew for their extremely hostile inhabitants who had reddish skin and tails like satyrs. The description of the journey and of the indigenous people encountered by Eufemo leads us to hypothesize a location of the episode in the Americas, in particular in the archipelago of the Antilles Islands, rather than along the African coast.
