Pillars of Hercules Rock of Gibraltar North & Jebel Musa South Named for Theban Mariner a Son of Amphitryon & Alcmene

Greek mythology/legend holds that Hercules a Theban (Greek) who for a time was with Jason and the Argonauts (circa 1300 b. c.) later separated the Pillars of Hercules to connect the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, yet Plato wrote that when Atlantis went under (see Page titled Mystery Atlantis Unmasked), the Strait of Gibraltar became blocked, in the days Plato wrote that the Greek kings Theseus, Erectheus, Erisychthon lived, the same timeframe as lived Hercules, about a century after the Ice Age had ended.
