Scheria

Odysseus is dropped off on this island by Leucothea who helps him out of a huge storm whipped up by Poseidon. Once on the shore, Odysseus climbs into an olive grove where he is found by Princess Nauticaa, the daughter of King Alcinous and Queen Arete. They let Odysseus stay with them so he can tell them his story, and then the Phaecians, the island natives, give Odysseus a magical boat to get back home.
