sentences:  The peoples of the Iberian peninsula, who were closest to the real Atlantic islands, and whose seafarers and fisherman may have seen and even visited them, articulated their own tales.Medieval Andalusian Arabs related stories of Atlantic island encounters in the legend of the 9th-century navigator Khashkhash of Cordoba (told by al-Masudi) and the 12th-century story of the eight "Maghurin" (Wanderers) of Lisbon (told by Muhammad al-Idrisi).From these Greek, Irish, Norse, Arab and Iberian seafaring tales – often cross-fertilizing each other – emerged a myriad of mythical islands in the Atlantic Ocean – Atlantis, the Fortunate Islands, Saint Brendan's Island, Brasil Island, Antillia (or "Sete Cidades", the island of the Seven Cities), Satanazes, the "Ilhas Azuis" (Blue Islands), the "Terra dos Bacalhaus" (Land of Codfish), and so on, which however uncertain, became so ubiquitous that they were considered fact.
