Page "History of Cape Verde" Paragraph 2

According to Pliny the Elder, the Greek Xenophon of Lampsacus states that the Gorgades ( Cape Verde ) are situated two days from " Hesperu Ceras "-today called Cap-Vert, the westernmost part of the African continent.

According to Pliny the Elder and his citation by Gaius Julius Solinus, the sea voyage time from Atlantis crossing the Gorgades to the islands of the Ladies of the West ( Hesperides ) is around 40 days.
