I think the Americas are more than several days travel from Carthage.
- nonbel 8y agoI don't know the original term used, but in greek the same word translates to "several" and "some": https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=el&tl=en&text=%CE%BC%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%AF https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=el&t... So could have been "some days' voyage".
- elif 8y agoCorrect. Sailing the Atlantic back then took over a month. 12 days was only achieved in 1905, and the official route is far shorter than a sail from Carthage.
